Och, nae - I kenna join ye, laddy. What a dream trip that would be. I 
love the Spey malts, particularly Cardhu, Aberlour, my "breakfast"
drams. On Islay I would go for the Bowmore and Lagavulin in a blink. I 
recently had a very decent malt from the Isle of Jura called 
"Superstition," a  mix of two of their malts, one peaty and the other 
less salty and it made a very smooth taste.
So many distilleries, so little time, so much distance. On your way out 
of  Edinburgh, should you pass through Auchendinny, give a wave for a Yankee
descendant of that fair hamlet. My father did get to visit there on a 
British tour in 1951, but I only got as close as England owing to lack 
of time between there and Germany-Holland-Denmark trout in '79.
So, think of me as you taste the source of all that barley hootch. I am 
SO jealous.
Slainte.m'hath, Tommy,
and have a few sips for me.
