Islay to be entirely powered by the tides
Thanks to East Texas Red for sending me this article about turbines to be built in the Sound of Islay to provide power for the island, including the distilleries that make those oh so tasty Islay scotches. Now I'll be a green scotch drinker when next I pick up a bottle of Lagavulin.

I love it when drinking whiskey is good for the planet.
Wow, doesn't it seme like a practical process that should have been used from the beginning? I love it that in order to make more profit, some companies are being inspired to save money on electricity. Great story, thanks Mr.A!
I noticed a new whiskey at Trader Joes (a popular alternative organic grocery store of sorts in states) that says it's organic and made by Langavin. It's called Finlaggan Islay single malt and doesn't have a date on it but is only $17. I was curious but didn't buy it when i saw it, maybe I'll check it out.
a taste test is certainly in order.
Lagvulin is the most wonderful stuff, my favorite Islay, which is my favorite category of scotches.
