Our original allocation of this was split between a 3cl dram lottery [4 bottles' worth], a bottle lottery [1 bottle] and an auction (where everything over RRP went to charity) [1 bottle]. Why all the fuss? Read more on our blog.

I am happy with this system, seems fair, just hope for a lucky day!
Harvey Nicks... Pre sold to the VIPS This is not correct, I am not a V.I.P and Harvey Nichols in London have confirmed they are selling from a list but that list is on a 'first come first served basis', they have stated I'm number 2 on it so we will see, they have still not received stock and as of 12/02/16 state the way they are selling it is still from the list although this has now grown to over 50.
I think a lottery is fair and good practice. The auction idea despite the profits going for charity seems not fair as whisky fans who are being continuously out marked by people with deep pocket.
Lottery..... I agree. Auction.... disgrace! Yes it's for charity, but you're going to push the average joe's chances of ever getting a bottle to almost nil. I give to charity on a monthly basis and choose to do so, but this should not be forced upon us. I expected better from Master of Malt.
