Whisky quiz – great pizes

In a previous mailing we told you about the whisky quiz which we will be having on the first night of Maltstock. We hope everybody will participate. It will be a bit of fun! Let’s see which club and which individual has the biggest whisky trivia knowledge.  The quiz will be Friday after diner and will include a few drams as well.

Already we have some terrific prizes to be won at the quiz. Many thanks to all the sponsors of the quiz!

We have already mentioned the Glenfarclas special VIP tour with George Grant for your club (up to 20 people). Also we just received a very special bottling of Connemara. A peated sherry finish which is not yet released in any market. So your chance to be one of the very firsts to have a bottle! Further more we have great prizes from Dalmore (like a bottle of King Alexander worth a 120,- pounds), Talisker, Glengoyne, Glenkinchie, Tomatin. And there are prizes on the way from Highland Park and Penderyn as well
