Nope.

It seems that they pick people from 'Random' - I say this with caution, because every high end whisky intergram user of high end blogger will find a bottle in there hands.

Don't lose hope yet. It's been over a week since their Buffalo Trace ballot ended and they still haven't emailed the winners of that yet.

I really do despise these "enter a ballot to see if you win the wonderful opertunity to purchase an (often) over rated and (always) over priced whisky"

Evil or Very Mad

Billy from TWE here: both Lagavulin and BTAC emails are going out today â€“ probably this evening.

Lists have just been finalised, we're just slotting them into the sending queue for the day.

I came across the ballot by chance when looking for a birthday present and I got the email to say I'd been selected so I can confirm it is definitely random!

I have to say I think the ballot for the Lagavulin 1991 Single Cask was a fair way to have run this, I can only assume it was run in a fair way and on this occasion it will benefit a number of good causes on Islay. I hope those of you who were after a bottle got lucky.

I thought it was a fair enough way to allocate the Lagavulin 1991, clearly they predicted a huge interest in it and there is nothing more annoying when they launch a whisky online and they sell out before you have a chance to buy it., at least with a ballot you have the same chance as everyone else.

I would have loved to have tasted this but it would have been too large a chunk out of my whisky budget for one bottle.

Well done to those who were successful. I wasn't. May still get one if auction prices don't go silly (won't be holding my breath).
