Maybe it was all the day drinking, but that was the most fun we've ever had on a trip! ๐ This will not be a full overview of the tour with Rabbie's, but please let me know if you have any specific questions about it. Ben and I looked up youtube videos for the Islay whisky tour prior to booking. I didn't want there to be any confusion with this video, and what I'm going to talk about. The short answer is: highly recommend โค๏ธ Distillery info below.
Correction - my backpack was 35L, not 32L

Distilleries visited:
Ardbeg - full tour
Ardnahoe - tasting blends. My favorite was Hebridean Journey
Bowmore - full tour
Bruichladdich - tasting. I got to try Ocotmore, and I loved it. The sensation is like nothing else. I plan to buy a bottle soon.
Bunnahabhain - We stopped in. Some people did tastings there. Ben and I bought a tasting set with tiny bottles to take home because we needed pace ourselves.
Lagavulin - tasting. We felt very lucky to have our tasting led by Iain McArthur before his retirement. He was amazing, and they were *very* generous on this tour. Well worth the price.
Laphroaig - full tour
Side note, I learned a few things while putting this video together. I'm going to remember them for my next trip so I can start making proper travel vlogs ๐
