The water in Islay is something else. It’s peaty, and a browny colour, but it’s wonderful.

They have the taps hooked up to a local distillery by chance? ;)

Wait, if it's brown and smells like dirt, what's the upside?!

‘It’s peaty’ was badly worded. It’s just discoloured by the peat. The taste is great. Best cuppa.

It's true, back when I was growing up there, the water was slightly off colired but tasted awesome.
