ISLE OF ISLAY, Scotland,
Dec. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- The holidays are officially upon us, and we all know
there's nothing better than celebrating the season with friends and
family… OR sitting in a comfortable chair in blissful solitude
while enjoying a glass of whisky. Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch
Whisky and everyone's favorite silence-savoring, whisky-sipping
companion, Nick Offerman, set
digital screens ablaze last year with Yule Log, providing
the most enjoyable fireplace-viewing experience of all time.

Offerman is back at it again with an equally riveting
New Year's Eve video that's
guaranteed to get even the smallest of parties started this holiday
season. If you were blown away by the shocking plot twists and
turns of Yule Log, then this hour-long celebration will have
you changing your party plans immediately and here's why:
- You can replace your sequins with sweatpants (although sequined
sweatpants are strongly encouraged).
- Sofas are always more comfortable than nightclubs. Always.
- Waiting in line is the worst. Skip the line at the bar and pour
yourself a drink of Lagavulin. Then, sit back and relax.
Responsibly. You've earned it.
- You get to escape the utter chaos and madness that is Times
Square on New Year's Eve and instead
be transported to the mecca that is the Lagavulin distillery.
- Nobody to kiss at midnight? No problem! Avoid the anticipation
of an awkward, or at the very best, anticlimactic start to the New
Year by getting lost in the mesmerizing eyes of Nick Offerman.
Offerman says, "I never make New
Year's resolutions because I apply myself to every day of
the year in a fashion that can only be described as 'resolute'.
Because I am not a fool, my determined recipe for delicious living
naturally involves a responsible savoring of Lagavulin."
Follow Nick's lead and bid farewell to 2016 by boycotting the
Times Square Ball Drop. Instead, spread the spirit of the season
(Lagavulin, of course) with friends and family by streaming his
New Year's Eve video during your
holiday gatherings. Everyone will be impressed by your quality
taste in entertainment and scotch.

As we toast to new beginnings in 2017, we also fondly reflect on
the past year. Lagavulin celebrated its 200th
anniversary in 2016, and to keep the party going, there are two new
additions to the My Tales of Whisky series: Nick the
Bagpiper and Treasure of Lagavulin. These videos delve
into the history and tradition of the iconic brand (and might even
be semi-true). One tells the thrilling and fascinating tale of how
Lagavulin came to be. The other has bagpipes.
Check out the My Tales of Whisky YouTube channel
(www.YouTube.com/MyTalesOfWhiskyOfficial) for the complete
My Tales of Whisky series. However you enjoy
#MyTalesOfWhisky, Diageo, the makers of Lagavulin Scotch whisky,
and Nick Offerman, remind you to
enjoy your whisky in moderation.
