Vores hollandske ven Nico Hoenen har fået en rigtig god idé.
Han vandt en flaske Ardbeg OB Single Cask # 1275 1998-2009 55,4%, fra et 1.st fill bourbonfad, 252 flasker, som han har tænkt sig at donere til ofrene på Haiti via det hollandske tv.
Han sælger 5 cl samples til € 20 + forsendelse fra Holland og vil donere alle de penge han har rejser til nødstedte i Haiti. Nico har været i kontakt med Michael Heads, Ardbegs Distillery Manager og Michael tilbudt en flaske mere til denne værdige sag.
Hvis du tænke dig at deltage og få din egen sample af denne meget sjældne Ardbeg (retails til £ 180 - destilleri only), skal du bare sende en e-mail direkte til Nico

Adelphi har aftappet et Longmorn fad til støtte for jordskælvsofrene på Haiti.
Alle medlemmer på Whiskybase.com har fået følgende mail i deres postkasse, men alle er velkommen til at bestille en flaske.

Charity Cask Sharing for Haiti
The earthquake on Haiti: it happened only a few weeks ago but meanwhile there aren ´t even smallest news on page 23 in the newspapers or on tv.

People still live under "¦circumstances and we discuss themes like giving billions to Greece (sorry to the Greek, though  ) or a German clerical Lady, who was caught drink "“driving etc pp"¦you know what I mean.

Haiti: out of sight, out of mind ???

Many of you will have donated money, some whisky forum members offered bottle sharings: respect to all of you !

During the last few weeks I wrote to several distilleries and Independent Bottlers, if they supported the idea of sharing a whole cask for Haiti. Some never responded but al last one IB answered positively. Up to last week it wasn ´t sure what single malt it could be, but now it is. A German retailer is willing to import the bottles to Germany without earning any money.
Chapeau, Alex Bruce and Thilo Marquass !!!

The following cask will be shared:

Adelphi Longmorn 1990, Bourbon cask, 20yr old, 50.5%, est. 214 bottles

The whisky comes in a standard Adelphi bottle with a specialised Adelphi label quoting this special bottling for Haiti.
Each bottle will cost 67 € but since I ´m talking about a charity"¦everyone has to pay an extra 10 € for charity purposes.
So: each bottle will be 77 € plus shipping costs. For each bottle sold Adelphi also donates 10 Pound.
Everyone who likes to donate more will be welcome, all money will go to to a serious organisation. Any ideas for that are also still welcome . As an alternative I ´m thinking of sponsoring a child or children (sort of godparenthood).

Your reward: enjoying a very special dram (or two"¦or three  )

Up to today 135 bottles were ordered in the German and French Whisky Forums, you see there still is a lot of work to do !

Please send your obliging orders via private message here or to my e-mail-addi Denne e-mail adresse bliver beskyttet mod spambots. Du skal have JavaScript aktiveret for at vise den.
Thanks a lot for your support !!
