The Islay Jazz Festival, which is promoted by Jazz Scotland and the Islay Arts Association, starts from today and runs until Sunday, at venues across the island.

This latest limited-edition release, is said to deliver notes of dried fruits that mingle with a maritime briny smokiness on the nose, followed notes of sandalwood, vanilla, smoky bacon, eucalyptus, gunpowder and a treacly sweetness on the palate.
