#7 Sample the Whisky Island -
The remedy for Scottish island melancholy is rare single malt whisky sipped slowly around a peat fire in a cozy island inn. For this I would send you to the Isle of Islay. You should pronounce this eye-luh and know that you are actually being redundant, since Islay means island in Scots Gaelic. Pronouncing the names of the island’s whiskies will be more difficult (try Laphroaig), but then learning such things is what long Scottish island evenings are for. Scottish single malt whiskies are eternally tied to their land. You can only make Caol Ila at the place called Caol Ila (which you see here); It’s both a place and a whisky. Such island distilleries live hard by the sea, and you can taste the sea breezes as you sip, as well as flavors of the island’s smoky peat, a bit of a bonfire on the beach, the aroma of seaweed, and island timelessness. It’s as if your nose can tour the tiny island from the comfort of an armchair, but if you are the exploring type then Islay has ten distilleries. No place evokes the history of Scottish whisky with so much power, nor layered with so many flavors, as Islay. (Eye-luh, remember?) #scotland #islandobsession
