Calling all
innovative and creative bartenders,
WhistlePig Rye Whiskey has launched its
first ever UK cocktail competition where
you can win a once in a lifetime trip to
Vermont. The winning bartender and two
runners-up will all be invited to the
home of WhistlePig in Vermont, USA, as
part of a special VIP trip.
Calling all innovative and creative
bartenders, WhistlePig Rye Whiskey has
launched its first ever UK cocktail
competition, inviting bartenders across
the country to explore the wonderful
world of Rye whiskey.
The ‘No History No Rules’ competition
has been borne out of WhistlePig’s
ideology to rip up the rye rulebook and
push the limitations of the category,
rather than replicating what has been
done in the past.
The inaugural competition is inviting
bartenders to enter their cocktail
creations that don’t conform to the
norm, with the only rule being that
WhistlePig 10 Year Old should feature in
the recipe.
There will be five regional heats to the
competition in London, Scotland,
northern and southern regions and the
midlands, with the final taking place on
Monday 4th July in London. The top
scoring three contestants will all win a
place on a superb VIP trip to Vermont to
visit the home of WhistlePig later in
the year, as well as receiving a special
bottling from the distillery team in
person. The overall winner will also
receive a bottle of The Boss Hog VIII -
WhistlePig’s stunning limited-edition
Rye whiskey.
Dan Priseman, WhistlePig’s UK and
European Steward of the brand said: "We
are very excited to be launching our
first ever WhistlePig Rye Whiskey
cocktail competition for the UK and are
hoping bartenders up and down the
country will rip up the rule book and be
as creative and trail-blazing as
possible with their cocktail creations!"
"In the true spirit of WhistlePig, we
will be celebrating the most unusual and
inspiring drinks that bartenders can
come up with – nothing is off the table
and the only limit is your imagination."
The competition is being hosted in
partnership with BarLifeUK to help drive
entries and raise awareness of the
opportunity directly to the bartending
community. Entrants have until 15th May
to submit their cocktail concepts
online, before the regional heats begin
later in May.
