docc Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Some sweet lass thought it would be nice to hand off a bit of scotch for me to enjoy. She knew I liked Islay whisky, but couldn't locate a proper Laphroaig. The label of the (somewhat generic) bottle declared Islay is pronounced "eye-la." Really? We Americans would be inclined to say " eye'-lay " Then, it occurs to me that I really have no way to know how to properly say "Lagavulin" let alone "Laphroaig." Apologies, Heli-Jim for the segue - we'll all have a mmmmmmmm-beer and see where this goes, eh? (currently in hand: Killian's Irish Stout, brewed in Colorado, under license from South Africa. ) Link to comment
AndyH Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I believe it's pronounced La-froyg'. I still I have a bottle of Bunnahabhain, another Islay whiskey, quite different in character from other Islay (yes Eye-lah) whiskies, but still truly delicious... It took me several months to find out it's pronounced roughly Boo-na-ha-venn' (stress on the last syllable), and I'm stil not sure... Happy to share a dram if you're over this way. We're blessed with some fabulous drinks in these isles but as ever the spelling's a pig...

docc Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 That's it! Perfect. I got a pretty good score overall. But "slainte" I had all wrong. "slan-juh?" And still a bit vague on the meaning . . . EDIT: if I'm to be drawn into Wikipedia, it means the roughly the same as "gesundheit" which I don't think I've ever hollered before taking a hearty swig . . . EDIT again: Until now: gesundheit!

Possibly you're familiar with the Welsh artist, Ralph Steadman who does all the illustrations for Flying Dog brewery... Good stuff try the french farmhouse ale. I forget the name but it's tasty.
