Harpers hosts malt whisky webcast

Published: 23 July, 2008

Islay malt whisky Laphroaig is holding a webcast at 8pm on Wednesday June 18.

Whisky expert and food and drinks writer Martine Nouet will lead the tasting, alongside Laphroaig master blender Robert Hicks and distillery manager John Campbell.

The tasting includes Laphroaig 10 Year Old, Laphroaig Quarter Cask, Laphroaig Triple Wood, Laphroaig Cairdeas and Laphroaig Cairdeas 30 Year Old Double Matured. The Cairdeas (meaning 'friendship') whiskies have been specially created by Robert Hicks and are only available in limited quantities.

Michael Cockram, Beam Global Spirits and Wine Scotch brand director, said: "The event was a phenomenal success last year attracting more than 4,000 questions from viewers ahead of the broadcast and a further 1,000 on the night. We are aiming to make this year's event the biggest online tasting in the world.

Harpers.co.uk is hosting the live webcast this evening (see below). You can also access it at the Laphroaig website.
