2 Best Sights in Port Ellen, Argyll and the Isles

Many malt whisky connoisseurs say the Lagavulin is the strongest-nosed of all Islay's peaty malt whiskies. You can find out why, and how, with a distillery tour and tasting here.

Laphroiag (say la-froig) is Islay's most distinctive malt, redolent of peat, seaweed, and iodine. You can take a tour of the distillery, then settle in for a spell of sipping at the whisky bar.
