Whiskies, The Spirit of The Open, has
raised £14,230 for The R&A Foundation
through its Golden Ticket campaign.
Loch Lomond Whiskies, The Spirit of The
Open, has raised £14,230 for The R&A
Foundation through its Golden Ticket
campaign, following activations at The
154th Open and the AIG Women's Open.
A total of 1,423 Golden Tickets were
purchased by golf fans across the two
championships, with 100% of the £10
ticket price donated to The R&A
Foundation to support its work in
delivering a positive impact for golf
and through golf.
The funds raised will contribute to
initiatives designed to improve lives
and strengthen communities through the
game, helping to make golf more
accessible, support wellbeing and create
opportunities for aspiring talent around
the world.
The Golden Ticket campaign launched at
The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale before
continuing at the AIG Women’s Open at
Royal Lytham & St Annes. Spectators at
both championships had the opportunity
to purchase a ticket, supporting The R&A
Foundation while also entering a draw to
win one of Loch Lomond Whiskies' rarest
releases.
Following the conclusion of the
campaign, Andrew from Liverpool was
selected as the lucky winner, taking
home one of only 100 bottles of Loch
Lomond 50-Year-Old single malt whisky
released worldwide, valued at £25,000.
With both championships taking place in
the North West of England, it was a
fitting conclusion to the campaign that
the prize was won by someone from the
local area.
The Loch Lomond 50 Year Old was
distilled using the distillery's
distinctive Straight Neck Stills before
maturing for half a century in a
combination of first-fill Bourbon and
Oloroso Sherry casks. Each of the 100
bottles released worldwide is
individually numbered.
Andrew Jack, Group Marketing Director at
Loch Lomond Group, said: "We have been
delighted by the response to The Golden
Ticket and the generosity shown by golf
fans across both The Open and AIG
Women’s Open. Selling 1,423 tickets and
raising £14,230 for The R&A Foundation
is a fantastic result and demonstrates
what can be achieved when we bring
together our passion for whisky with our
long-standing commitment to golf.
"As The Spirit of The Open, we wanted
The Golden Ticket to add something
special to the spectator experience
while making a positive contribution to
the future of the game. We’re incredibly
proud that the funds raised will support
The R&A Foundation’s important work,
helping to create opportunities and make
a lasting difference through golf."
The Golden Ticket campaign builds on
Loch Lomond Whiskies' long-standing
relationship with golf and its
partnership with The R&A, combining the
distillery's whisky-making heritage with
its continuing commitment to supporting
the game and the communities connected
to it.
