Iconic Islay distillery Laphroaig are celebrating 200 years in 2015, and before the year’s out they plan on bringing their Smoke on the Water Whisky Pop-Up to the east-coast of Australia to spread the love. Two centuries of distilling one of the world’s most unique and rewarding Whiskies is no small feat, so we expect these one-night-only events to be huge; they certainly sound quite ambitious, with 10k worth of Laphroaig up for grabs in each city.
Those heading along to the Smoke on the Water pop-ups can expect the distillery’s newest and freshest cocktail creation – the Stone Wall – alongside tastings of Laphroaig’s Select Cask, Quarter Cast, and Triple Wood expressions, right alongside Islay Oysters.
The Stone Wall cocktail is described as a fresh concoction made exclusively for Australia, paying homage to the stone walls of the remote distillery with a combination of Laphroaig Select Cask, rare Laphroaig Whisky Marmalade, Triple Sec, and fresh lemon juice.
Those in attendance will have a chance to win a solid American Oak Whisky cabinet filled with Laphroaig. Entry is by sharing your opinion of Laphroaig on the night the the hashtag #OpinionsWelcome – the most creative will win.
