From John Campbell at Laphroaig Distillery;

I hope you are looking forward to the Distillery Live Whisky tasting tonight at 20:00 EDT. I am actually writing to you from the States. I’ve been over here in America for a week visiting some US FOLs – I’m having a great time and have been welcomed warmly!

The website is now live and you can go on to familiarise yourself with it before the live webcast begins. As you will see there is an area where you need to input your name. This will allow you to watch the live show and also to submit any questions you want on the night. There is also an area which gives you a brief synopsis of the event and also shortened biographies of each of our panelists.

I have included all the details again below so that you have the web address to hand:

Distillery live online whisky tasting
When: Friday 25th September 2009
Where: www.distillerylive.us.com
Time: 20:00 EDT (Saturday 26th September 01:00 British Summer Time)

Remember you can see what time 20:00 EDT is in your country by following the link on the Distillery Live website.

We have checked that this works on all the latest browsers but would recommend viewing in Internet Explorer if possible. Also, you will need to have flash on your computer to watch the show. You can follow the link on the Distillery Live website to download flash for free. Make sure you do this in advance as I wouldn’t want you missing anything!

I really hope you can join us tonight for this unique online event, as I mentioned before there will be not only tastings of Laphroaig expressions, including the new 18 Year Old but also cocktails and some gourmet food!

Do feel free to pass this email onto any of your whisky loving friends. We’re always looking for new converts!

Sláinte,

John Campbell
