Pure Malts Whisky Tasting - A Laphroaig Odyssey

The day is finally here! This whisky tasting is truly an odyssey into the one and only Laphroaig. In 2022, the distillery partnered with USA-based entities to release 15 different single casks. Each cask highlighted the distillery's iconic spirit, aged in a variety of cask types - and were sold in retailers across the country from California to Texas to Georgia to Illinois to New York to Massachusetts. And we believe we are the only group that has collected all 15 bottles - one bottle was not for sale to the public and took a lot of work in acquiring!

Please join us for an evening of "The most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies” along with friends, food, music from the wonderful Sean Harkness, and whole lot of fun! USA Brand Ambassador and a friend to all, Simon Brooking, will be on hand to kick off this amazing celebration. This will be more of a "festival" style tasting and not a sit-down like we usually do.

Can't wait to see you there, Sláinte!
