I know we have a few who may not make it over to the Pub site so I
thought I would post this here too.
There are several Laphroaig Land owners here as well.

I received this email and I am highly impressed.
Here is an part of the email.

"As you know, Laphroaig is often winning awards - indeed, last year, our cask strength was voted 'The Best Single Malt in the World'. You may think it hard to beat that - but we have!

The Clean Sweep!

The San Francisco World Spirits Competition is considered by many to be the toughest and most prestigious of awards. The whiskies are all tasted by the panel of judges 'blind' so that there is no bias. We entered all our 5 main expressions: 30 year, 15 year, 10 year Cask Strength, 10 year and, of course, Quarter Cask. To give it away a little, there is a special award above the usual Bronze, Silver and Gold, known as Double Gold. This is reserved for when a whisky not only wins gold in its class, but is voted first by the whole panel of experts. Now the results:

30 Year old - Double Gold and winner of the of 'The Best Single Malt in the whole show'!
15 Year old - Double Gold!
10 Year old - Cask Strength - Double Gold!
10 Year old - Double Gold!
Quarter Cask - Double Gold!

And ... wait for it ... our distillery (sorry - your distillery!) was voted "Distiller of the Year" - one of the highest honours that can be bestowed on a distillery. We are so proud - as I am sure you are too!"


How about that.
Glad to be a "Land Owner":rolleyes: of one of the finest Distilleries in the world
