A note from John Campbell at Laphroaig Distillery
Thank you all for your many letters on our next live internet broadcast from Jerez in Spain on the 23rd September, I will try to answer all your correspondence as soon as I can. In the meantime, I have added a page on the website with all the show details: http://www.laphroaig.com/live. We have some very exciting news about the event. As you will have read in my last email, one of the panellists is a Friend of Laphroaig but is also a singer and songwriter. Well, Diego has kindly agreed to sing live for us at the event. With special Laphroaig expressions, Sherry, tapas and now live music this really is set to be our best ever online show.
I must apologise for my last email about our next Laphroaig Live event. I had put the time as 8pm Eastern Central Time by mistake, it should have been 8pm Central European Time. If you go to http://www.laphroaig.com/live I have put up full details, including a link to a site which will allow you to work out the time of the event in your own country.
Finally, thank you to everyone who has expressed an interest in actually attending the event in Jerez in person. We have been inundated with emails. Please rest assured, if you have emailed already we will be contacting you shortly – we were just waiting to determine numbers. If you haven’t emailed yet and are still interested in attending the event in Spain, please email info@laphroaig.com by Wednesday 8th September 2010.
Slàinte,
John

Grant’s 25 Year Old Whisky
An historic launch celebrating an epic voyage
On 9th April 2010, a round trip from London aboard the Venice Simplon Orient Express helped us launch Grant’s 25 Year Old and tell the story of Charles Gordon’s voyage of 100 years ago.
That’s when Charles embarked on a year-long trip to introduce Grant’s whisky to the world. With a hold full of samples, he sailed to places like Lahore, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai and Sydney. When he arrived back home, the hold was empty but the order book was full.
The 25 Year Old blend was created by Master Blender, Brian Kinsman and Peter Gordon our Chairman (and great, great grandson to our founder, William Grant). It celebrates Charles Gordon’s journey as well as the following generations of the Grant family who have made their own unique contribution to the success of our whisky.
Where to buy
Grant’s 25 Year Old is now available exclusively at the world’s finest airport specialty retail shops in major cities including London, Paris, Rome, Prague, Frankfurt, Riga, Vilnius, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Johannesburg and Durban.
What’s the taste?
Here are the official nosing and tasting notes from Brian Kinsman, our Master Blender.
Nose: Deftly balanced notes of fragrant summer peach blossom and polished leather.
Taste: Cinnamon and a touch of ginger bite along with fresh and mellow sweetness.
Finish: Rich spices that linger enthrallingly on the tongue

Talisker Meets Borough Market in the Tasting of the Century! (so far). Monday 13th September, 7:00pm
We have the pleasure of the ever irrepressible Colin Dunn, Ambassador for Diageo’s “posh brands” department, who will be taking us through some very fine Talisker Single Malt. Instead of just tasting the whiskies alone however, we would like to showcase the versatility of Talisker by pairing the various expressions with different foods, all of which are available right from our doorstep in Borough Market.
To get your taste buds rolling, Ester Cuesta from Roast has come up with a fabulous cocktail using the Talisker 10yo among other things.
After this we will be matching other expressions with magnificent things such as West Coast Oysters from the Wright Brothers, Peat-Smoked Scallops from the Hebridean Smoke-house, cheese from Neal’s Yard Dairy, and a fantastic finale with Chocolate from the recently opened Rabot Estate. Along with the matching we will also have a couple of real stars of the Talisker stable to be tasted on their own.
Now fear not, dear whisky fans – we know that whisky can be tricky to match with food, and so we have been sure to do a lot of in-depth research to make sure that our palates will be caressed gently and well. A hard job, we’re sure you’ll agree, but one we felt we must do on your behalf.
Due to the extraordinarily complex and luxurious nature of this event, tickets will be slightly more at £40 per person, but what with the whisky and the produce, this is still a real bargain, and as such we expect places to go extremely quickly indeed.
Tickets will go on sale 3:00pm, Monday 6th September and are, as always, limited to 2 tickets per booking.
The Whisky Show 2010 on the 29th / 30th October for both of which tickets are now on sale.
Following on from last year’s groundbreaking sessions, there are some truly sensational Masterclasses at The Whisky Show again this year. Tickets for the Dalmore and Clynelish tastings sold out almost immediately, but there are still a few places available for the Sherried Glenmorangie tasting with Annabel Meikle, and the remarkable Tour of Islay tasting (featuring Ardbeg ’77 and Laphroaig 30 amongst other gems).
In addition, the final Masterclass has just been announced for the Friday evening – a Diageo Manager’s Choice session, featuring Clynelish, Talisker, Lagavulin and more. Click here http://tinyurl.com/WS2010MC to buy tickets for The Whisky Show Masterclasses – but don’t forget that if you want to attend any of these tastings, you’ll need a ticket for the Show itself, available from here http://tinyurl.com/WS2010ST.
