Poetry competition
If you make us laugh, cry, sing, or applaud with your poetry you could win Scotch whisky for Burns Night!
Master of Malt Burns Night Poetry Competition 2026
Our annual 2-week Burns Night poetry competition has returned for 2026!
This competition has become a regular fixture in the whisky calendar as thousands of you enter to try and get your hands on delicious Scotch whisky and have the honour of being named a poet of Burnsian prowess.
Last year we gave away 10 whiskies to poets who wooed us. This year we’re giving away 5 whisky prize bundles in total, each containing 70cl bottles of; Loch Lomond 24 Year Old 2000 Open Course Collection - 152nd Royal Troon 2024, GlenAllachie 15 Year Old, Scapa 10 Year Old, Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old, The Glendronach - Ode to the Valley, and Ledaig 9 Year Old Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Matured. But not to those who use AI. Only to those who would compete with honour and integrity.
Think you weave words in the style of one of the greatest Scots ever to live – Robert Burns? Then enter now! We wish you the best of luck. Wi’ usquabae, we’ll face the devil!!
