Specialty Scotch Whiskey Retailer The Whiskey Place Promotes Discounts on Laphroaig and Talisker for a Short Time Only

Brooklyn, NY, February 11, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Whiskey Place, a luxury online retailer that specializes in stocking an extensive array of single malt scotch in addition to other alcohol types, just announced a new promotion on its stock of Laphroaig and Talisker products, available at http://www.TheWhiskeyPlace.com. With an exclusive selection that includes five distillations from each producer, The Whiskey Place is encouraging scotch whiskey connoisseurs to act on the discounted prices while they last.

Laphroaig, one of the more reputable scotch whiskey brands, is produced in the Islay region of Scotland. One of the Inner Hebridean Islands lying off the northwest coast of the country, Islay hosts just fewer than 10 active distilleries and is known for producing some of the world’s finest single malt scotches. Islay malt is particularly distinctive to whiskey drinkers; known to boast a powerful smoky flavor originating from the peat with which the malt is smoked, Islay-produced whiskies are not for idle imbibers. Their intense and deeply-layered smoke flavor, typically complemented by notes of seaweed and brine, makes Islay single malt scotch whiskey sought-after by dedicated whiskey lovers.

One of the most revered single malt scotches produced by Laphroaig is its 10 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Whiskey. While the majority of whiskeys on the market are diluted with small amounts of filtered water to reduce their alcoholic content and mellow their intensity, Laphroaig’s 10 Year Cask Strength single malt scotch whiskey is bottled straight from the barrel. With a syrupy, viscous mouthfeel and a remarkably round and full body layered with complex notes of smoke, sea, and leather, it was declared the best single malt whiskey in the world in 2005 by Whisky Magazine. While it frequently sells for upwards of $80, the single malt scotch is now available for as little as $66.99, with the additional offer of 5% off when customers purchase 12 bottles or more.

For those searching for a less intense single malt scotch from Laphroaig, The Whiskey Place is also featuring Laphroaig Cairdeas among its inventory. Paler in color, thinner in body, and gentler in flavor, Cairdeas is a young whiskey, released as an annual special-edition distillation by the producer. While still featuring the peat and campfire flavors for which Islay-made single malt scotches are renowned, the Cairdeas also showcases lush vanilla and bright pear and citrus flavors that add a delicate sweetness to the final product. The Cairdeas is currently on offer for $59.99, with an additional 5% reduction when 12 or more bottles are bought at once.

Talisker, another single malt scotch whiskey producer from Scotland’s Hebridean Islands, holds the distinction of being the sole operating distillery on the Isle of Skye. While its single malt scotches do feature prominent peat flavors, Talisker’s whiskies are tempered by rich chocolate and toffee profiles. Among The Whiskey Place’s five-distillation inventory are Talisker’s 18 Year, declared the best Single Malt Whiskey in the world in 2007 at the World Whiskies Awards, and the Distiller’s Edition, a gloriously buttery and rich scotch whiskey that subsides into sweet, burnt-strawberry flavors. The former is now available at $99.99 (down to $94.99 when over 12 bottles are purchased), while the latter is on offer for only $79.99, reduced to $75.99 in larger orders.

In addition to its top offerings of exclusive scotch whiskey brands, The Whiskey Place is also inviting customers to join its Single Malt Whiskey Members Club. With the option to sign up for a six-month, nine-month, 12-month or ongoing membership, the club affords customers the opportunity to receive a special, surprise bottle of single malt scotch once a month.
