Once again the devil looks after his own and we wake up to beautiful sunshine , another hot and busy day at Bruichladdich ! Plenty to do and see as usual , there had been a road race and cycle trial in the morning , pipe band , dancing and the handing over of the Queens Award flag in the afternoon .

It was a toss up between the Bunny 68 and the Laddie 68 which was the best for me , Mel's favourite was the Laddie Rocks (which contains 2001 Laddie ) . They had a malt bar on selling old and new Laddie from the New Moine mhor at £3 a dram to the Laddie 40yo at £45 a dram . After a long day we headed back to The Inns for a quiet night .
