In 2003,2005, 2007 and 2010 Lagavulin distillery worker Kevin Campbell and a team of charitable Ileachs rowed around the coastline of Islay, collecting malt whisky from each of the island's seven distilleries. The whisky was duly married in casks and bottled at Bruichladdich before being offered for sale via the internet. The ten-year-old Islay Pillaged Malt of 2003 raised £25,000 for the RNLI and the Macmillan Cancer Relief Fund.
