I have always meant to add a thread for Whisky Competitions, anyway here it is.

To start off the thread there is a brilliant competition being run by anCnoc whisky to win your very own barrel of anCnoc. You will be involved in the production process from start to finish and then watch your barrel filled for maturation. Your barrel would then rest in the traditional dunnage warehouses at Knockdhu distillery until the time came for your special individual cask bottling, all of which would be yours to do what you wish with. Closing date of the promotion is 30/06/09

You will find the competition here:
www.ancnoc.com

If you know of anymore good whisky competitions just add them to this thread.

The Feb/March competition at the Arran whisky website is for a hard back copy of a beautiful new Burns book "Cronies, Colleagues and Contemporaries" by James L Hempstead worth Â£25 and a bottle of Arran Robert Burns Single Malt Whisky.

All you have to do is write a few lines of poetry in praise of the Arran Dram.

Its a pity the collection doesnt include the Balvenie Thirty but i am sure the 3 bottles on offer would make my 75 year old father very happy, i have emailed in my entry. Cheers Bookie

Cheers Bookie, i have put an entry in for my father.

I have noticed that Arran seems to have stopped their competitions, they still appear to be running the Feburary / March comp.
