According to Michael Jackson--lagga-voolin. I believe the emphasis is on
the VOO.

Well, no, actually yr friend and you are both wrong. According to both a
friend who just returned from visiting the distillery and our local United
Distillers rep, the emphasis is on the third syllable. That is:
Lah-gah-VOO-lin.
But, yeah, no matter how it's pronounced, I've had worse drams.

syllable.
Incidentally, I have NEVER heard it pron. lagavoolee. Huh?
But it is my favorite winter scotch, along with Talisker. I prefer a lighter
taste (Cragganmore) in summer.

for question #2, pronounce "Laphroaig"!
Joseph R. Harris Doyle
that's as reliable as it gets; La Ga VOO lin seems to win.
I only ever heard the LA GA voolee pronunciation on a recorded bit from
http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jhb/whisky/smws/206.html
After we master Laphroaig, let's try Glen Garioch! Slainte!

According to the Laphroaig website, their own fine elixir's name is
pronounced "La-FROYG". As for the Glen Garioch, I've heard and read
multiple times that it's pronounced "Glen GEER-y". Now if you want a
stumper, I've heard as many pronunciations of Drumguish as I have sources.
"Drum-OO-ish" is what Michael Jackson says, and I'm inclined to think he
knows what he's talking about, but my other sources are supposed
"authorities" as well, so...
Another, completely unrelated question, and perhaps even somewhat off-topic:
Has anyone tried any of Cadenhead's famed rums or "Whiskies of the World"?
I'd expect they're up to the standard of (most of) their Scotches, but would
like to hear from someone who would know before I shell out for one of those
over another Scotch.
