A Letter From Paul Jacques |
 |
|
Greetings,
It has been quite the winter here in Boston, but finally you can feel in the air that spring is near. You can notice the brighter light in the morning, and the daylight is lasting long after people start arriving at the Rowes Wharf Bar for a post work cocktail.
We have finalized our schedule for our Summer in the City Entertainment Series. The bands are booked, and the movies have been selected. I’ve been looking at the calendar and contemplating what date we’ll open our waterfront terrace at the Rowes Wharf Sea Grille. There’s plenty of fun ahead.
Until we reach those days when we all want to linger outdoors, we have plenty to do inside at the Boston Harbor Hotel. The Boston Wine Festival has been a huge success. We’ve had some of the biggest names from the world of wine hosting events here with Daniel Bruce. The Closing Reception is Friday, April 1. If you haven’t attended an event yet, you’re running out of time.
Come and visit us this spring whether you’re traveling with family or friends, or if you want a home away from home while traveling for work.
We look forward to welcoming your return.
Sincerely, Paul J. Jacques General Manager

Lagavulin 16 Year Single Islay Malt Whiskey
Islay has been cradle to many things, early Christianity for one. But it is in malt whisky distilling that this fertile island, some twenty miles by twenty-five, has found its modern vocation. Here, in the still mainly Gaelic speaking community around Port Ellen, on the island's south eastern shores, twelve men today craft pungent, dark Lagavulin™, made on this historic site at least since 1816.
There's nothing rushed about Islay, nor is there about Lagavulin™; before being bottled, the malt spends sixteen unhurried years breathing the sea-salt air of Islay, mainly in refill European oak casks kept in traditional white-painted warehouses by the sea shore. Long fermentation, long distillation and long maturation together ensure that Lagavulin develops all of its long, rich, peaty character. It’s a spirit that likes to take its time. The definitive Islay malt demands nothing less.
