Islay distilleries rain OK

 Having spent a very long week on Islay it is now all too apparent why there are so many distilleries on the island. During our seven days it rained every day and this included at least 60 hours continuously. It is no surprise that Islay has over 400 days of rain annually – an astounding stat …. Also for at least 50% of our time on this watery destination it blew a gale.
