Episode 257: May 25, 2010

Laphroaig is one of those whiskies that you’re either going to love or loathe…with no middle ground. Today is Laphroaig’s day at the Islay Festival of Malt and Music, and this episode was recorded at the distillery on a windy, but sunny and warm day. We’ll hear from distillery manager John Campbell, master blender Robert Hicks, get a cooking lesson from Gordon Harvey, one of the authors of “The Whisky Kitchen,” attend the Feis Ile whisky nosing competition, and hear music from Brigid Kaelin.
