Friends of Laphroaig?

I just bought a bottle of 10 year, it was the last one left in our city!!

Here goes for my little bit of Scotland~:-D:-D

LOL, I actually picked up a bottle the day before this thread started. I was driving home from a day on the water and passed a little store with a big sign that said "All single malt scotch 10% off"

The regular price they had on the 10yr was $41. I walked out of the store with a bottle for 38 bucks. I'll have to keep an eye on that place ;)

I took my bottle around to the practice seeion of our Pipe band, it's always better drinking with friends.
The whisky was appreciated by all, many of whom are very familar with Laphroaig.
I'm very impressed with their marketing, I am now the laird of one square foot of Scotland!!

[MacMullen]

There is yet one more laird of Scotland!

I just became the proud owner of plot #277348! I'm not wearing a kilt today, but I am wearing one of my glen plaid suits. I'll be celebrating this evening with a wee dram from my new bottle!

well howdy neighbor (in a pretend US accent), not sure how close my plot is to you, but it's nice to have land on Islay isn't it!! a fine drop too!

[GMan]

Graham, fairly good accent you have there.

It is a nice drop indeed. But to have the land on Islay is shall we say, excellent!

Thanks Neighbor and fellow laird of Islay! If you get there before I do, take a picture of my land holdings. :mrgreen:

I must add that, in the many, though limited single malts I've tasted, Laphroaig is the best I have ever experienced. Worth the money, but I don't know that I can spring for more than one bottle per year. It also adds to my appreciation for McClelland's Islay - it could almost be considered a poor man's Laphroiag. Obviously not as good, but surprisingly similar, and I'm guessing that that's by design.

This seems like a good excuse to acquire a kilt in the Islay Tartan. Is this one that's generally available to the public?

One thing I'm wondering: When you send someone an invitation, do they have to purchase a bottle before they can claim their plot?

Nope no Purchase is necessary with an invite.However I'd recommend the 1/4 cask....Yummy;-)

If you sent that one to me David, I must confess it is yummy!

Thanks for the info! I just invited several of my close friends, and then, after I sent it, I wondered if it was going to turn out to be one of those, "Hey, you're invited to buy a bottle of Scotch and claim your land in Scotland!"
