Three winners and their lucky plus-ones will enjoy a distillery tour, tastings, an enhanced Ardbeg activity and an overnight stay with meals and more!
Everyone’s a winner – Ardbeg 10 Year Old is now just £34.95!
Award-winning Scotch whisky. Incredible food. Adventures on air, land and sea. A scenic Scottish island. All of this can be yours. “How is all this possible?” We hear you cry. Because we’re offering an incredible VIP 2 night stay for three human persons (and their +1s) at the Seaview Cottage at Ardbeg Distillery!
The stunning distillery on a beautiful Islay night…
The ultimate Ardbeggian adventure awaits. As well as two nights’ complimentary accommodation at the distillery, each winner will enjoy a complimentary VIP tour to the Ardbeg distillery, including unique tasting of Ardbeg expressions from cask in the warehouse (potentially with distillery manager Micky Heads, if the dates work out) and food pairing and tasting in the chairman’s study.
But that’s not all. Each winner has a chance to experience an enhanced Ardbeg activity (subject to availability and weather conditions). This could mean an island tour, a brilliant boat trip to Corryvreckan Whirlpool, an incredible island sea and wildlife tour, a sensational helicopter tour of Islay or even the amazing opportunity to go sea fishing!
Whether you’re a fanatic or someone who aches for adventure then applying for this VIP trip is a must. Who knows: you might just be the lucky one with your name on the ticket(s)…
You can buy Ardbeg whisky now and be entered into the competition!
“How do I enter this magnificent competition?!”
I’m glad you asked… You will be *automagically* entered into the competition if you purchase any 70cl bottle from the Ardbeg distillery range! (For the nitty gritty details, see the competition terms below.)
This is also probably a good time to mention again that for a limited time Ardbeg 10 Year Old is now just £34.95!

We are a company registered and incorporated in England and Wales with the company register number 03193057 and having its registered office at Unit 1 Ton Business Park, 2-8 Morley Road, Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1RA, United Kingdom.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?
The Ardbeg 2018 competition (the Competition) is only open to private individuals who are 18 years old or older (and of legal drinking age to purchase alcohol in their country of residence). Ineligible entries (howsoever received) will be discarded.
The Competition is not open to any employees of Atom Supplies Limited or any of its associated companies (including MoM), their families or friends.
HOW TO ENTER
The Competition Period shall commence at 12:00:01 pm on 20 November 2018 and end at 23:59:59 pm on 24 December 2018.
Entrants will be automatically entered into the Competition if they complete the purchase of any 70cl bottle from the Ardbeg distillery range from the MoM website in accordance with MoM’s standard Consumer Terms of Business during the Competition Period (each being a Qualifying Purchase). There is also a no purchase entry option, which you can read about below.
By completing a Qualifying Purchase, you are agreeing to be bound by these terms and conditions.
Multiple entries are permitted, encouraged even!
References in these terms to the completion of the purchase of a product shall be construed as a reference to the time at which the purchaser receives an email from MoM which confirms that we have dispatched the order. Any person who cancels a Qualifying Purchase, by any method whatsoever and whether before or after dispatch, shall be disqualified. Any person whose Qualifying Purchase is not made in accordance with MoM’s Consumer Terms of Business shall be disqualified. Any person whose Qualifying Purchase is cancelled by MoM owing to factors outside of MoM’s control (including import restrictions) shall be disqualified. Nothing in these terms shall prevent any Entrant whose Qualifying Entry is disqualified for any reason from making a separate, new Qualifying Purchase.
Alternatively, no purchase is necessary to enter the Competition. 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 Ardbeg 2018 Competition 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 Entrant confirms that he or she is eligible to do so and that they are agreeing to be bound by these terms and conditions. Each entry received in accordance with this section will be entered into the Competition as though it is was a Qualifying Purchase. MoM will not be responsible 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. MoM will not accept proof of posting as proof of receipt of entry to the competition. Postcards and letters will not be returned.
