Got a bottle of Laphroaig for Xmas.
Would love to do something like this Mags.
Was a great experience, the boat over isn't too expensive at all. We stayed in a hostel in Port Charlotte for the first while and then camped at Port Ellen for the last stretch. The island is great for cycling, roads are excellent mostly, few rough patches but mainly ok, especially down by the 3 distilleries at the bottom as there is a cycle path from Port Ellen Maltings that goes through Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg. Laphroaig was the best tour for me, followed by Bowmore. Kilchoman was really nice too because it's so much smaller than the others, was only founded in 2005. Great to see the different ways they make whiskey. Most expensive tour was £10, food and drink easily available. Honestly a great wee time. One thing is that no matter what way we cycled there seemed to be a fierce head wind at some stage, but nothing you can't get through.
