Drinking alcohol is bad for health, people say so, but what if drinking alcohol can also make you a proud owner of land and that too in Scotland?
One of the finest Whisky brands of Scotland is offering a lease on a square foot of land to every purchaser of a bottle. The brand name is Laphroaig from Islay in Scotland. Donald and Alexander Johnston founded the Laphroaig distillery in 1815, which is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky distillery.
Laphroaig is the only whisky that can be proud of carrying the Royal Warrant of the Prince of Wales. Beam Suntory, which is the American subsidiary of Japan’s Suntory holdings, is responsible for operating the distillery as it owns the brand.
Let us now tell you how you can become an owner of land in Scotland – all you need to do is to buy a bottle of its finest single malt and go to Laphroaig’s website for registering the bar code which is placed on the bottle. That’s it; you are now the owner of land in Scotland.
Price you need to spend for 10 years old Laphroaig is US$50 (approx. Rs. 3344), for 18 years old Laphroaig is US$100 (approx. Rs. 6688) and for 25 years old, you need to spend US$ 400 which comes to approx. Rs. 26755.
The distillery has given the name ‘Friends of Laphroaig’ to the land which is owned by its loyal customers who have a square foot of land each and it is across the road from Laphroaig distillery.
Distillery pays the annual rent in form of a dram of Laphroaig which can be obtained by a customer when he made a visit to distillery.
