NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- THE FIREPLACE IN
YOUR LIVING ROOM (December 2, 2015) –
In December 1966 WPIX, a Tribune
Broadcasting Station, pioneered the airwaves with the first ever
Yule Log broadcast as a holiday gift to New York City residents who did not have
fireplaces. In celebration of the 49th anniversary of
the first broadcast, Lagavulin™ Single Malt Scotch Whisky, together
with actor, humorist, and woodworker Nick
Offerman, ask to be invited into your homes to share their
new live-action rendition. It promises to be the most enjoyable
fireplace-viewing experience of all time and is coming to a video
streaming device near you.

Although WPIX may have started the fire, Lagavulin and Offerman
are calling upon holiday revelers across the nation to help set it
ablaze. Lagavulin and Offerman are requesting that the titans of
the TV and video streaming industries replace their traditional
Yule Log with this version from 10-11pm each night throughout the holiday season,
the preferred hour of after-dinner Scotch whisky enjoyment, perfect
for slowly sipping and responsibly savoring Lagavulin. They ask
that you also join the cause by streaming during your at-home
holiday gatherings.
Offerman proclaims, "You might be surprised by the calming
effect my Scotch-inspired contemplation will have upon your
digestion of holiday meats."
Here's a myriad of reasons to join Nick
Offerman by the fire and raise a glass of Lagavulin to spark
a new holiday flame together:
- You get to spend the holidays with Nick
Offerman. Anytime. Anywhere.
- Enjoy 45 minutes of uninterrupted Scotch whisky-drinking bliss
and you don't even need to exchange words. You can just gaze into
one another's eyes. But be careful, his are known to be quite
mesmerizing.
- The majestic ambiance of the flaming log will set the tone for
any viewing location whether it be at home or while "working."
- His wood is hand-chopped and selected from his vast personal
log collection.
- He's good with in-laws, they find him quite good looking.
Dashing, even.
- It's the only log worth watching.
