Off to Islay in a couple of weeks for a short stay (2 nights). Plan is to visit a few distillerys and probably involve purchasing a few bottles for enjoying at home.
Will be flying, ( southampton to glasgow and glasgow to islay), and only have hand luggage booked.
The question is how am i going to be able to get 4-6 bottles home? I did think about trying to find a nice strong box and then posting it home. Maybe the islay postoffice have some sort of dedicated service for this?
Any great ideas?
The distilleries may offer a posting service? Can't hurt to ask.
If you cycled there you could put them in your panniers?
Many of the distilleries will post them for you.
Ah, yes thanks for pointing out the obvious. Not sure why i thought that i was going to have to sort the postage out myself. The distillery shops must post out hundreds of bottles everyday.
Thanks all
Bear in mind that unless you are going for factory specials, you will find most Islay stuff cheaper in the super markets.the nearest i got to the stuff on the island was a taste during a distillery visit
True dat ^^^ Good [s]excuse[/s] reason to spend at least £50+ on each bottle to get something a little bit special 🙂
