#創創彈計劃分萬萬现金 Islay is not large in size, and it only takes about 2.5 hours to go around the island. The distilleries on the island are concentrated in three places, and the driving distance between adjacent distilleries is only 5-10 minutes, so arranging 3 days on the island is enough to visit each distillery in depth. Islay is probably the place in the world where people love whiskey most purely and passionately, and everyone can become friends with just one glass🥃 🌟The highlight is the distillery visit🥃 [GreatWall] Distillery visits are mainly divided into these three categories: [Wedding] general tour: Follow the guide to visit the distillery, you can hear the story behind the distillery, and understand the steps and the whole process of whiskey brewing. There will be a free tasting session at the end, but the amount of tasting is relatively small. [Wedding] warehouse tasting: This does not include the distillery visit part, the focus is to taste all kinds of whiskey. You will be allowed to try many different types of whiskey, and some will also give you a cup, or there will be wine to take away. [Wedding]Visitor center: Go directly to the front desk, you can spend money to buy a certain wine you are interested in, and you can also try the flights (a group of different whiskey combinations) that the distillery has matched. 🍲Local food recommendation: The most recommended restaurant is seasalt bistro. Their pizza, pasta and pure seafood dishes are super delicious. You will fall in love with them at one bite! If you are craving Chinese food, you can consider Ellen's Wok. Their ribs are worth a try. Sometimes we also buy ingredients at coop and cook our own meals, which can save money and make food that suits our taste. 🚗 Transportation [One] From London - Edinburgh - Islay: Depart from London to Edinburgh, then rent a car in Edinburgh and drive to the pier near Glasgow to board the ship (the car will also be on the ship), and then you can drive around Islay. Since there are few buses on Islay, self-driving is the most suitable way to travel. If you don't want to drive yourself, you can also book a local driver and car charter on Islay in advance. [Two] Book a train and buy a train ticket from London Kingcross to Edinburgh Waverley. [Three] Self-driving in Edinburgh: Pick up the car in Edinburgh and drive to Kennacraig Pier near Glasgow. You must hold a British-recognized international driver's license to rent a car in the UK. Here is a special reminder to remember to rent an SUV. The journey takes about 3.5 hours. If you find it troublesome, you can also go directly from London ✈️Glasgow to the pier. [Four] Book a ferry ticket: From Kennariag Pier near Glasgow to Port Ellen Pier on Islay, check the timetable and book tickets directly on the official website of Caledonian MacBaryne Shipping Company. There are two piers on Islay. Port Ellen is relatively convenient. It takes about 15 minutes to reach Abbey and Laphroaig after getting off the boat; Port Askaig is on the other side of the island.
