What’s better than a distillery tour? A luxurious VIP trip for you and your favourite person with posh accommodation, a tasting which features some SUPER exciting limited edition whiskies, delicious meals at top local establishments, a detour to the Speyside Cooperage, UK travel, and a personal, exclusive distillery visit with a fabulous brand ambassador as your personal guide, of course! (For the nitty gritty details, see the competition terms below.)
You could be here!
That’s exactly what we’ve got for you today, folks. Except there’s just not one prize. There’s three! Yep, three lucky whisky fans and their even luckier plus-ones will be heading to Speyside on Tue 30 to Wed 31 October 2018 in the company of UK brand ambassador Matt Chambers (also off of the excellent Whisky For Everyone) for the ultimate in BenRiach discovery.
So many delicious maturation experiments
BenRiach is a super-progressive Speyside distillery with an obsession with cask experimentation. We travelled up earlier this year for a nose around and were rather intrigued indeed by the array of maturation experiments going down in the legendary Warehouse 13 (which is on the winners’ itinerary, of course). But don’t let us tell you about it; we collared Matt Chambers himself so you can hear it straight from the horse’s brand ambassador’s mouth!
‘How do I throw my hat into the ring?’, we hear you cry. Simples! Buy any official release from The BenRiach and we’ll *automagically* enter you into the draw.
There’s more though. Everyone’s a winner as we’ve taken £5 off both BenRiach 10 Year Old and BenRiach 10 Curiositas until 11 September! That means even if you’re not one of the uber-lucky BenRiach-bound folks, you’re still in for a treat. Tastiness for everyone!
Enjoy!

Any person who sends a postcard or letter to Master of Malt, Unit 1, Ton Business Park, 2-8 Morley Road, Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1RA, United Kingdom (marked for the attention of the Marketing Team) casually mentioning the fact that they wish to enter the BenRiach Competition 2018 and setting out their name and contact details shall be entered into the competition, provided that the postcard or letter is received prior to the expiry of the Competition Period. By entering the competition in this way, the sender confirms that he or she is eligible to do so. We do not accept any responsibility for any entries which are lost or delayed in transit, regardless of cause including, for example, as a result of any failure of any postal system of any kind. We will not accept proof of posting as proof of receipt of entry to the competition. Postcards and letters will not be returned.
The winner will be selected at random by MoM, in MoM’s absolute discretion. The selection made will be final and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into.
The name of the competition winner will be announced on the MoM Blog as soon as practicable after the end of the Competition Period. We will make reasonable efforts to contact the winner. If the winner cannot be contacted or is not available or has not claimed the prize within five days of the announcement date, we reserve the right to offer the prize to another eligible entrant. We cannot accept any responsibility if any winner is unable to take up the prize.
The prize is supplied by the Brown-Forman Corporation, and cannot be exchanged for the equivalent cash value or for other items. The prize is not negotiable or transferable (except in relation to trip extensions, as above).
You acknowledge and accept that all complementary travel and accommodation arrangements will be Brown-Forman’s responsibility. Once the competition winner has claimed the prize, we will notify and pass your details to them, at which point, Brown-Forman will make contact with the competition winner and arrange with you any travel and accommodation itinerary. MoM will not in any circumstances be responsible or liable to compensate the competition winner or accept any liability for any failure or delay in making the appropriate travel and accommodation arrangements, loss, damage, personal injury or death occurring as a result of taking up the prize except where it is caused by the negligence of MoM, its agents or distributors or that of their employees. Your statutory rights are not affected.
In order to accept the prize, the competition winner shall be required to agree that we can use his or her name and county, state or region of residence (as applicable) when announcing the winner of the competition and for other reasonable and related promotional purposes (nothing sinister, and we won’t sell the winner’s or any other entrants’ details to anybody else – we promise). We may contact the winner for feedback in respect of the competition and/or prize and may use any feedback provided when announcing the results and promoting the competition or subsequent competitions.
We will send the name and county of the competition winner to anyone who writes within one month after the end of the Competition Period requesting details of the winner and who encloses a self-addressed envelope to the address set out below.
We reserve the right to hold void, suspend, cancel or amend the competition where it becomes necessary to do so. If there is any reason to believe that there has been a breach of these terms or any attempt to circumvent or to frustrate them we may, in our sole discretion, exclude any person from participating in the competition.
Insofar as is permitted by law, we will not in any circumstances be responsible or liable to compensate any competition winner or accept any liability for any loss, damage, personal injury or death occurring as a result of taking up the prize except where it is caused by our negligence (or the negligence of our employees).
