In reply to BnB:
> A new distillery is being built at Knock Bay on Sleat in the far south of the island as the fulfilment of a long-held dream of the the late Sir Iain Noble, owner of much of the isle, who passed away not long ago. The manager of the new project is none other than Scottish rugby legend Findlay Calder. I hope it's a huge success. I guess we have to wait 12 years to find out.
And another new distillery being built not far across the water from Skye at tarbert on Harris I spotted on my cycling trip.

My mate and I went to Talisker on Skye on rememberence day, he did the tour and said it was brilliant ( and I think he said 'Storm' was his favourite- I'm not sure I don't drink myself so paid little attention to the detail)
( I went instead and looked out over the Cuillins from the War memorial at Carbost on a fantastic day.
As was mentioned , a WET windy day is best to visit distilleries.
