To celebrate the first commercial release earlier of a single malt from Kingsbarns in Fife, we’ve teamed up with the distillery to offer a chance to win a VIP trip to Scotland.
The area around the town of St. Andrews has been drawing tourists for years, attracted to the history, the beautiful scenery and a peculiarly popular game involving hitting a little white ball with a stick. Since 2014, there has been a new attraction, the Kingsbarns Distillery set in rolling Fife farmland and housed in a converted 18th century farmstead. Earlier this year, its whisky came of age and a small quantity was released under the apt name, Dream to Dram. The ancient Weymss family who own the distillery also bottle a range of malts from other distilleries as well as a delicious selection of gins under the Darnley’s Gin label.
The team at Kingsbarns, you could be meeting some of them soon
We visited back in January and were extremely impressed with both the just-released single malt and the distillery. Now we’re offering whisky lovers the chance to win a VIP tour. The prize includes travel for two up to Kingsbarns from within the UK, a distillery tour with the master distiller, two nights stay in a hotel in nearby historic St. Andrews including breakfast and dinner for two at the hotel, and lunch for two at the distillery. The lucky winner will also receive a yummy complimentary bottle of Dream to Dram whisky.
Sounds pretty tempting, doesn’t it? You probably want to know how you can enter this competition. Well, it’s not complicated. All you have to do is buy something from the Kingsbarns distillery range and you’re automatically entered. (For full details, see competition terms below).
