I always enjoy reading some history on spirit's and beer. There is nothing like a nice shot of Jameson's on a cold, wintry night. I always enjoy a nice shot and a beer, preferably a good Samuel Adam's beer, which is brewed at the Samuel Adams Brewery just outside of Boston. They have a wonderful Octoberfest lager that is only available from August to the end of October, it's liquid gold. Congrats Keith! I always enjoy reading some history on spirit’s and beer.

Islay was once home to 21 distilleries compared to today's 7, and Ardbeg nearly went the way of the other 14. Ardbeg, with its distinctive pagoda roofs, was founded in 1815 in a romantic spot on the rugged shores of the Atlantic Ocean around which a village grew. But despite its delicacy and complexity, it had a chequered history and was recently closed for several years until Glemorangie aquired Ardbeg in 1997 and set about restoring the distillery to its former glory. Today, the original kiln and malt barn house a fascinating visitor centre, cafe and shop. Yesterday's visitor may not have had the chance to enjoy such nice hotels in Islay, but, like today, it would still have been the perfect journey. Some things in Scotland don't need to change, like the great sensations of malt whisky (except to have even more choice of course), and we like it that way. I hope you will to.
