Feis Ile 2011, pubblicati gli eventi di Lagavulin, Caol Ila e Port Ellen
Scritto da Claudio Riva il 05/03/2011Dopo Laphroaig, anche le distillerie Diageo hanno reso pubblico il programma del festival. Hanno combinato un po' di casino con le prenotazioni.
Mentre Laphroaig ha appoggiato tutte le prenotazioni su un sito di biglietteria elettronica (tra l'altro molti eventi sono già spariti da questo sito perchè i posti disponibili sono andati esauriti in pochi giorni!), la corazzata Diageo ha annunciato sul suo sito gli eventi del Feis Ile 2011 dimenticandosi però di dire come fare a prenotarli. Inutile inviare e-mail ... rispondono che al momento non possono accettare prenotazioni. La domanda sorge spontanea ... allora perchè hanno pubblicato il programma?!?!?
Ma veniamo ai contenuti, c'è di che leccarsi i baffi. Mitica la cena di Mercoledì sera presso Lagavulin (che fa coppia con quella di Domenica sera a Laphroaig, entrambe le distillerie alla loro "prima"). Sarà poi possibile incontrare Georgie, la nuova giovane distillery manager di Lagavulin che in pochissimi anni si è trasformata da semplice aiutante del whisky shop di Dufftown a manager di una distilleria che è tra le più apprezzate e conosciute al mondo. Che dire, complimenti!
