Laphroaig 15 Year Old BACK for a Limited Time Celebrating 200 years
Laphroaig Distillery is celebrating 200 years of making Scotch Whisky (and a very peaty whisky at that) on Islay; which I call Heaven in the Hebrides. In celebration of this landmark, they have festivities scheduled throughout the year. I was fortunate to attend the first at the annual Islay Fest on Islay itself, Laphroaig did a wonderful job, throwing a party that allowed the attendees to really relax and enjoy themselves — and have a special time at a very special place. They want to include many people around the world who could not make it over, and are putting out some special bottlings to spread the joy. One is the 15 year old, a whisky that was discontinued back in 2009 when the 18 was released. Now, the fifteen will be available again for a limited time.. but how long? If you are a Laphroaig fan, buy one now; if you really enjoy it — buy a bottle or two for later. When it is gone, it’s gone. First come first served. $79.99
Saturday Evenings A New Whisky Bar, Some Old Friends, and Some Great Whisky 7:00 P.M. – 11:00 P.M. In residence at Therapy 73 Ames Street, Cambridge Inside Ames Street Deli and Study Restaurant
This Saturday will be the debut of a wonderful new venue in which to enjoy some great whisky and benefit from the charisma and knowledge of one of our favorite people, Federal’s very own Nate Shumway. Many of you have known him for years, working closely with me behind the counter and pouring whisky at our basement tastings. With great passion, wisdom beyond his years and a taste for whisky older than himself, Nate is launching a pop-up whisky bar, appearing only on Saturday evenings in Kendall Square. What to expect? Some whiskies may be young, and some may be old, but what I know for sure is that all will be brilliant drams and the evening is sure to be wonderful.
