bruich-5-30-07.jpgIt’s a sad day for the people of Islay.  Due to oil shortages, the stills at the Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay Island have come to a still.

The Islay Whisky Festival was underway, but now without the needed oil, no one can even distill a darn thing.  Apparently, tankers have not been able to dock on the Scottish island due to low tides.  Well, it looks like the festival goers will just have to turn to truffles instead.
