Four Facts About Whisky Casks Distillers Don't Want You to Know
Malt Maniacs E-pistle #2010-08 By Oliver Klimek, Germany This article is brought to you by 'Malt Maniacs'; an international collective of more than two dozen fiercely independent malt whisky aficionados. Since 1997 we have been enjoying and discussing the pleasures of single malt whisky with like-minded whisky lovers from all over the world. In 2010 our community had members from 16 countries; The United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, The U.S.A., Canada, India, Japan, Taiwan, Australia & South Africa. More information on: www.maltmaniacs.org . Four Facts About Whisky Casks Distillers Don't Want You to Know "All casks are different." This a commonplace and it's one of the basic rules all aspiring maltheads and apprentice whisky anoraks will learn rather early on after they have started their journey into the whisky wonderland. When you take the step from standard distillery expressions to single cask whiskies mainly bottled by independents you will discover a seemingly endless variety of malts that sometimes can have very different characteristics, even if they are made in the same distillery. In this E-pistle I would like to highlight a few aspects of whisky casks that for some strange reason do not get very much attention, even though their consequences are rather significant. 1. Seaweed? What Seaweed? Tasting notes of Islay malts usually feature descriptors like “seaweed”, “sea spray”, “Atlantic jetty” or the likes. We all know that Islay is both caressed and mistreated by the powers of the Irish Sea, so in a way it is not a surprise that we can find maritime flavours in Islay whisky.

Oban to Belfast
Cruising Route: Oban and west Argyll to the Antrim coast and Belfast Lough This is a beautiful cruising ground with a combination of inshore and offshore sailing amid wonderful and varied scenery. The channels among the southern Hebrides offer a number of alternative routes. From Oban, the track inside the islands leads either down the Sound of Luing to Crinan or further south, or else via Cuan Sound to Kilmelford or Craobh. In these sounds – and indeed almost everywhere on this route – the tidal stream is the first consid- eration in passage planning. The tide runs very fast in Cuan Sound and in the Dorus Mor leading to Crinan, and at a significant rate in the Sound of Luing, gradually lessening down the Sound of Jura. Loch Craignish and Ardfern offer a pleasant and scenic side-trip. There are visitors’ moorings at Craighouse and Gigha. An alternative route south from Oban is offshore, via Colonsay and the Sound of Islay, with Port Askaig providing a possible stopover. The Sound of Islay is also a tidal gate, with five knot tides. It is worth remembering that working these tides to advantage can result in very fast passages! The marina at Port Ellen is only a few miles to the west whether coming east or west of Jura.

Kintour Landscape Survey Report
DUN FHINN KILDALTON, ISLAY AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY DATA STRUCTURE REPORT May 2017 Roderick Regan Summary The survey of Dun Fhinn and its associated landscape has revealed a picture of an area extensively settled and utilised in the past dating from at least the Iron Age and very likely before. In the survey area we see settlements developing across the area from at least the 15 th century with a particular concentration of occupation on or near the terraces of the Kintour River. Without excavation or historical documentation dating these settlements is fraught with difficulty but the distinct differences between the structures at Ballore and Creagfinn likely reflect a chronological development between the pre-improvement and post-improvement settlements, the former perhaps a relatively rare well preserved survival.

The survey work was undertaken as part of the Ardtalla Landscape Project a collaborative project between Kilmartin Museum and Reading University, which forms part of the wider Islay Heritage Project. The survey area is situated on the Ardtalla Estate within Kildalton parish in the south east of Islay (Figure 1) and survey work was undertaken in early April 2017.

Islay February 2019
Islay February 2019 February 20th : Sandwich Bay to Islay The group left the Observatory at 5 a.m. and had a straightforward run up to Gatwick with the ever-efficient Airport Connections. Our Easyjet flight to Glasgow was delayed by an hour but the flight itself was quicker than scheduled – did the pilot really put his foot on the accelerator? At Glasgow Airport we met with Peter and the mini-bus was then duly collected from a large company based about 20 minutes away in Clydeside. Peter and Ken came back to the airport to collect the group and then we were on our way in dreich conditions out of the city and north along the shores of Loch Lomond, then off through the sea lochs and mountains of Argyll. We stopped for lunch at the Loch Fyne Centre and again for a short stretch of the legs at historic Inveraray and, near the journey’s end, at Tarbert. Here we saw the first ‘good’ birds of the trip in the form of 5 Black Guillemots out in the harbour. From there it was a short journey to the ferry terminal at Kennacraig and, with night fast approaching, there were some rather nice sunset effects through the now-lifting clouds. A Red-throated Diver was swimming around the jetty as the M. V. Isle of Arran appeared from the south to take us across to Islay. A smooth crossing, landing at Port Askaig, and then across the dark island to the hotel at Port Charlotte for a decent night’s sleep in this very comfortable hotel set overlooking the outer reaches of Loch Indaal.

Argyll and Bute Council Planning Protective Services & Licensing Committee Development & Infrastructure Services
Argyll and Bute Council Planning Protective Services & Licensing Committee Development & Infrastructure Services June 2014 _________________________________________________________________________ Reference No: 14/01152/S36 Proposal: Proposed Installation of 10MW Demonstration Tidal Array including cable landfall and sub-station – Consultation under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 Site Address: Sound of Islay, Isle of Islay _________________________________________________________________________ A. SUMMARY This is a consultation from Marine Scotland in respect of an application under the Electricity Act by Scottish Power to deploy and operate a tidal energy array in the Sound of Islay, with the installation of export cables and the construction of associated onshore infrastructure. The report recommends views to be conveyed to Marine Scotland on behalf of the Council as Planning Authority in respect of the consent sought under Section 36 of the Act, which if it were to be granted, would include a Direction that planning permission for the onshore development be deemed to be granted. B. BACKGROUND The Sound of Islay is a 21km passage of water separating Islay from Jura which at its narrowest point in the vicinity of Port Askaig is only 1.4km wide. It is scoured by tides of up to 5 knots but is generally well protected from wave action. It is 50m to 60m deep at its deepest point, which extends south from Port Askaig for about 1.5km. This location has been the subject of consideration for some time for a production scale developmental tidal energy project, which would provide the applicants with operating experience of devices which might then be deployed in less protected and more energetic waters elsewhere off the Scottish coast.
