See it live, record it or use the BBC’s great iplayer – but do not miss this programme. It’s the third episode of Oz Clark’s and James May’s drinkfest odyssey through Britain and Ireland. In this one they do some blindfold whisky tasting, meet some controversial beer brewers in Edinburgh, deal with the breakdown of their un-trusty caravan – and end up in Islay.
Nuff said. You can guess a lot of what happens next – Islay being Islay and the proud possessor of some of the best known producers of a dram in the world.
But you can’t guess at all of it. Actually – you can if you’re as hooked on news as we are at For Argyll. And we did pretty well guess it – as Mark Reynier at Bruichladdich should be able to testify (and yes, the mad pair do visit that distillery).
To guess what happens you need to think ‘out of the bottle’ rather than ‘out of the box’ and you need to think propulsion rather than projectile… (the remnants of good taste prevent us from completing this phrase).
We’re not giving the game away – but news junkies and all Ileachs will be there already. The main thing is don’t miss the show and have more fun with Islay.
