Orvis prize draw winner announced

We were delighted to see so many Clan Speyburn members enter our exclusive competition to win a high-quality Orvis backpack and duffel bag set, and our congratulations go to winner George H Lee.

We’ve enjoyed a productive partnership with Orvis – the country clothing and equipment experts – for a number of years and, as George revealed on learning of his success, he’s a fitting winner of this handsome prize. “I find it quite appropriate to win Orvis luggage,” he told us. “I first tasted Speyburn at an Orvis event and enjoyed it on my next fishing excursion!”

Regards,
Speyburn Distillery

“The Lighthouse Collection” blazes Travel Retail trail

 There’s no better time to travel abroad for Old Pulteney devotees, with our exclusive Travel Retail expressions featuring in travel outlets from the end of this month. ‘The Lighthouse Collection’ features three distinctive and colourful additions to the Pulteney range – Noss Head, Duncansby Head and Pentland Skerries. Each bears the name of a lighthouse close to our coastal Wick distillery and their launch celebrates our long-standing maritime heritage. With their eye-catching packaging, this superb trio of highly individual whiskies will soon enjoy an unmissable presence across airport duty free stores and a range of travel retail outlets – you can learn all you need to know about each of them here.

Following on from the release of the first in the Icons of Wales series – The Red Flag edition, Penderyn Distillery is pleased to announce the release of the second in the series – ‘Penderyn Independence’

Penderyn
Independence commemorates the signing of the American Declaration of Independence in 1776. The emerging statesman Thomas Jefferson, who went on to become one of America’s most famous Presidents, was one of the fifty-six men who adopted the Declaration of Independence. Wales is a small country with an equally small population yet Jefferson and fully fifteen of his fellow signatories came from Welsh roots.

‘Penderyn Independence’ is beautifully presented and wrapped in a copy of the Declaration, accompanied with a quill. The front of the presentation box also highlights the signatories from the Declaration.

The Dundee Dell is holding two Scotch Tastings on September 1st and October 6th. Please contact them at (402) 553 9501 for further details.
