On February 27, 2025, Club Mareva Beirut had the pleasure of hosting an exclusive Laphroaig Single Malt Whisky Masterclass, an evening dedicated to the bold and unmistakable character of this legendary Islay whisky. Led by master of spirits Elie Abi Khalil, the event brought together whisky connoisseurs and enthusiasts for a deep dive into the world of peated single malts.

An Immersive Whisky Experience

From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was electric. With every dram poured, Elie Abi Khalil guided attendees through the rich history, unique distillation process, and unmistakable flavor profiles that make Laphroaig a whisky like no other. From the signature smoky, medicinal, and maritime notes to the deep complexity of aged expressions, each sip was an experience of its own.

A Packed House, A Memorable Evening

The event was fully booked, with Club Mareva Beirut’s intimate setting providing the perfect ambiance for an immersive tasting experience. Conversations flowed as guests exchanged thoughts on their favorite expressions, discovering new layers of flavor with every pour.

Adding to the evening’s exclusivity, each attendee left with a special bottle of Laphroaig Quarter Cask, a token of appreciation and a perfect way to continue their whisky journey at home.

A Testament to Club Mareva Beirut’s Whisky Culture

This masterclass was not just a tasting—it was a celebration of craftsmanship, heritage, and the camaraderie that great whisky inspires.
