Dear William,
I am really excited to announce something of a first for Laphroaig; we are holding a live, global, online whisky tasting and debate! We hope you will join us in making this one of the biggest online whisky tastings in the world! Therefore, we would like to invite all of our Friends of Laphroaig to come online and take part in this unique event.
We will be holding the event on Wednesday 21st November at 20:00 (GMT). It will last around 40 minutes and will include a live question and answer session where you will be invited to put your questions to the panel. This will include Robert Hicks - master blender, Jim Murray - author of the famous "Whisky Bible' and of course myself.
The event will cover four highly distinctive Laphroaig expressions; 10 Year Old, 10 Year Old Cask strength, Quarter Cask and our new Oloroso expression the 27 Year Old. You will also have the opportunity to vote live for a fifth expression for the panel to taste.
Once you have registered (see below), you will be able to submit your questions for the event. I'm anticipating that we will get a lot of questions and forty minutes won't be enough to get through them all. We will therefore be asking you to vote on your favourite questions with the winning questions being answered on the night. Don't worry though - even if your question isn't picked you will still have the opportunity to submit your question live during the event itself.
To take part in this unique event go to the web address: www.laphroaig.com/live
Pass this email onto your friends
As you know we always ask our "friends' to help us spread the word about Laphroaig. This live tasting would be the perfect way to introduce all your friends to our unique single malt so please pass it on - unlike normal whisky tastings the web can accommodate everyone!
I look forward to "seeing' you on 21st!
Slainthe,
John Campbell
Distillery Manager

Should be a great event for Laphroaig drinkers.

Hi William,
I'm still enjoyed with John Campbell whilst visiting the distillery in May this year. 
We were promised a vertical tasting with him in the new Friends of Laphroaig room and we had to stand for over an hour in one of the warehouses whilst tasting drams.
The other thing was that Laphroaig promised us a 25 year old special bottling (on the www) and we got a 19 yo which was not the best L we've tasted over the years.
His speech and talk about the drams was very impersonal and embarrassing for a lot of people I talked with afterwards. I hope that the "on-line' nosing will be better. 
Slainte Rene

Hi Rene
You have good reason to be annoyed, i would have been.
As you say hopefully the "online tasting" will be better

And it happend again. . . . . a Italian friend of mine who was with us in June this year, went again last week where he had an invitation from John Campbell was left in the cold again. Although he phoned the previous day for a tour which was accepted and arranged, was told on arrival that the tour was fully booked. 
Claudio Riva from Northern Italy has been 11 time to Scotland in 3 years. He is passionate about Malts and should get the best treatment like any other person who's visiting Scotland. 
Slainte Mhath, Rene
