I love whisky… not the lightly colored mild and smooth kinds that are popular with some people- no, I prefer the harsh smokey flavors most associated withthe island of Islay. Among the whisky from Islay the legendary Laphroaig brand is my favorite, so when I read on Luxist this morning that it is possible to claim a one square foot plot of land on the Islay with each bottle purchase I became an even bigger fan of the brand!
Apparently if you purchase a bottle of whisky, you can go to www.laphroaig.com/plot and register with your purchase number to claim your plot! With this you are a registered “friend” of the company and are then encouraged to visit the distillery where you will receive your “rent” which is a dram of whisky!
Luxist explains, “There are more than 364,000 Friends of Laphroaig spread across more than 150 countries registered online. Among the site’s many features is Laphroaig TV, offering a look inside the distillery as well as exclusive previews of limited-edition bottlings, live online tastings and educational seminars.”

finacially poor but this is always worth the cost
Comment by John Carlson August 10, 2009 @ 2:06 pmLaphroaig is one of the true classics of single malts.It will knock you down but will kill any germs in your mouth. I assure you.once cut it with a bit of water it starts to show some of its other characters. Heavy,heavy smoke,sea salt, banana sweetness.if someone is not in a right mood you can find it challenging.
