Laphroaig does something like this for their fan club. Sign up and you get a plot of land for life on their grounds. For rent they will pay you a dram whisky annually, but you have to go collect it in person. They are located on the Isle of Isley off the coast of Scotland, so unfortunately I haven't been able to collect my rent yet. Hopefully someday.
- th0br0 12y agoDon't forget the raincoat, the wellingtons and probably something else that I forgot as well! (at least the first time you go there)
- wtbob 12y agoMay one accumulate the rent over the years? Because I could see visiting there after several decades …
- markba 12y agoI've done this and been there to collect my dram. Scotland is wonderful.
- jonah 12y agoThat's not very much.
- jonah 12y ago* Formally, a dram is an eighth of a fluid ounce. (Less than a teaspoon.)
- steveklabnik 12y agoSomeone who used to work at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society in Edinburgh told me that the exact size of a dram is a covenant between the barkeep and their customer ;)
- Coding_Cat 12y agoInformally, a dram is usually just a regular (perhaps smallish) serving of scotch. Usually between 1 and 2 fingers high in a regular scotch glass.
- madaxe_again 12y agoDon't tell them that on Islay. I upset the guide at Ardbeg by pointing this out, who called me a "typical British imperialist, what are you going to do, tax it, sassenach?!". I'm Glaswegian.
