LORETTO, Ky. – Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch is bringing a taste of Scotland to the readers of MITEchNews.Com in an event unlike any other, an interactive, online Webcast tasting Sept. 25 at 8 p.m.
The event, Distillery Live 2009. Distillery LIVE attracts whisky fans across the globe.
Hosted in the United States for the first time, Laphroaig Distillery Manager John Campbell is traveling to bourbon country to join Maker/s Mark Master Distiller Kevin Smith for the live-broadcast event at the Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto, Ky. Together Campbell and Smith, along with renowned whisky authority and publisher & editor of Malt Advocate magazine John Hansell, will celebrate the relationship between Laphroaig and Maker’s Mark (specifically the maturation process of Laphroaig in former Maker’s Mark barrels), while educating consumers on traditional Laphroaig expressions.
In 2007 Laphroaig held the world’s first ever live online whisky tasting in London garnering one of the highest online broadcast audiences ever, this was followed up by last year’s live broadcast direct from Laphroaig’s home on the Scottish island of Islay gaining an even larger audience.
