Port Ellen, Islay

Islay is prounounced 'eyela'. Spent a few days here, crew, Mona, arrived and Neil came along for a tour of the distilleries. I arrived in time for the pub and went to the hotel bar where they had 40 single malts on display and Ian, the barman and whisky expert, on hand to offer guidance. Had an enjoyable evening following his recommendations and it was only when I tried to stand up at the end of the night that I noticed how strong some of this stuff is.
