I’m now here in Sydney, and what a beautiful city it is. Whilst I will never understand why Alexander Johnston sold his share of Laphroaig, I do now understand why he fell in love with Australia. The weather is vastly different to the brisk winds I left back on Islay!

The production team have already started setting everything up and I’ve had a chance to look around the location. I’m very excited, the views of the Opera House and the harbour are stunning. Certainly makes a nice contrast to the warehouses we have broadcast the previous shows from.

Anyway, we have a lot to do today so I will keep it short. Don’t forget to tune in to www.laphroaig.com/live tonight at 8pm Sydney time (AEST) for the live show (10am in the UK and 11am if you are in Europe). If you haven’t yet checked what time this will be in your timezone, you can do so here. I’m looking forward to receiving your questions later. Remember, if your question is read out then you will be sent a special prize.

See you soon!

Slàinte,
