Islay - Other distilleries

As well as the four main warehouse tastings we also visited Caol Ila, @Ardnahoe, @LagavulinWhisky, @Ardbeg and Port Ellen.

Old and new!

Barley is delivered by ship, 'hoovered' up by the pylons on the right, travels on an underground conveyer belt to the grey grain store then up to the top of the building. Trucks then transport the barley to the Maltings or directly to the distilleries.

Filling up.
