In April 2016 I joined the Bruichladdich crew tweeting pictures from in and around the distillery during a live Twitter online tasting. This is one of the pictures I took (and probably tweeted), two of the samples on a table in the courtyard in the mild Islay evening sunlight.

A stunning April morning on the west coast of Scotland, a view from the north east of Jura. You can just make out Barnhill (where Orwell wrote 1984) just left of centre. We walked past on our way to the Corryvreckan whirlpool with an Islay walking week excursion.
