Then I am going to go to bed. Or Mars. Probably bed. But it's a quantum universe so we can't be sure and we'll never really know.
Good night.

The clues:
- It is a whisky from and island with one distillery;
- You could drive from the distillery to Wales.

You could drive to Wales from any distillery in Britain.

OK. It is a whisky produced by a lone distillery on an island off the coast of Scotland. There are only about four of those. There is one island off the coast of Scotland that can be driven to (or from) without the use of a ferry.

Before you mentioned that you can drive from there to Wales, I thought you might have been drinking a Japanese whisky. Don't they make good whiskys?
Mr Somerset already said Talisker, and that's the only one on Skye. Are you sure you're not drinking it? I mean, that's not the answer?

Like LG guessed; it has to be Talisker, the only one on Skye, which is an island accessible by bridge.

Oh goody. Thank you! 
Last night my husband and I were enjoying a nice evening by the fire, drinking our Talisker bottle together (he had 7/8th of it), with good conversation and general lovely-couple-time. We were discussing a common topic between us, and at one point I said, "I can't imagine having !" and then I paused. Then JDAW proceeded to brace himself with the look 'I don't know what's coming next' on his face, and saying, "Three heads? A case of Nacional 1931? Child with Down's syndrome?"
What was it that I actually couldn't imagine having?

I am also getting a little fidgety since it's not my turn and I can't guess and all I've had is one glass of Fonseca 85 (decanter's privilege) and one of Palo Cortado.
