Laphroaig To Host Live Online Whisky Tasting This Thursday

Laphroaig, the world’s most richly flavored Scotch whisky, will broadcast its 7th annual Laphroaig Live on Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 8:00PM EST from Brooklyn, New York. Whisky fans everywhere can visit www.laphroaig.com/live to see the most talked about live online whisky tasting of the year.

The 45-minute live stream, which reached nearly 2.5 million people across the globe last year, will feature a panel of four experts. They will sample four whisky expressions, step back in time to the Prohibition era and trace its heritage to the booming whisky cocktail scene it helped create.

The panelists are: Laphroaig Master Distiller John Campbell, Bourbon Ambassador Adam Harris, Mixologist and Founder of Ward III Michael J. Neff, and GQ Web Editor Kevin Sintumuang. Also in attendance will be Simon Brooking, Master Ambassador for Laphroaig, to celebrate this one- of-a-kind tasting experience.

Viewers worldwide will have front row seats as the panel tastes and discusses the complex flavor profiles of:

• Laphroaig Quarter Cask
• Laphroaig QA
• Maker’s 46
• Laphroaig Cairdeas 2013

The show will be broadcast from an original Hudson River Barge, which at over 99 years old has seen cargo come and go into New York for almost a century. Laphroaig will bring a fantastic selection of its expressions direct from Islay to New York and explore how the North-Atlantic ties are still thriving today.
