What i can remember about it through the whisky haze! Mel (My Wife ) assures me it did happen!
Though this was Lagavulin day ,We spent most of today travelling to the Island , A 4am start getting to Kennacraig at 10am .Had first encounter with the "plowed" brigade at the terminal.Got over to the Island at just after 3pm ,checked into the hotel and then went for a wander round Bowmore . Managed to last till 11.30pm drammin' with Alistair (owner of the Lochside), by all accounts it had been a good day at Lagavulin ,they got to try the new 12yo and 25yo expressions .
