I'm planning to visit Islay before the @BonScot meetup next year. My current thinking is to book a rental car at Glasgow airport and pre-book the ferry from Kennacraig to the island. I'll be arriving Sat 17May returning to Glasgow to drop off the car in time for poker start on Thu 22May. Has anyone visited Islay and have some tips to share, places to stay, things to see, etc? Thanks for the help!

Went last summer for the Feis Ile which was incredible. Not sure what it's like not during the festival as I heard from folks there that it is very quiet most of the year. Some standouts I remember:

Coal Ila was incredibly beautiful, a great tour a great history, and one of my favorite Islays.

Lagavulin, Ardbeg and Laphroig are all easy to hit in one go. Ardbeg tour and restaurant were solid.

I liked the vibe at Bruichladdy festival a ton but no idea what it's like otherwise. It certainly has the largest open day at the festival and it was quite the party.

I found a lot the food underwhelming (though that's obviously not why you go to Islay) but we enjoyed dinner at the Lochside Hotel which also had a fantastic whiskey offering and the fish and chips at the little pub right when you get off the ferry was great.

Pouring one out tonight for Boilermaker football. They are absolutely fucking terrible. When’s basketball season start?
 
I've been drinking a 50/50 blend of Woodford DO and Rare Breed. Tastes like an older, oakier Turkey with a kick. Also do a 80/20 Blanton's/Willett 4 year rye. Proofs up and makes the Blanton's more interesting. Anyone else have a custom blend they like?
 
Letting these go. PM for details :sneaky:
