Whisky Forum - Macallan Competition winners?

STUDOGG37 · Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2018 1:16 pm Post subject: Macallan Competition winners?

I recently took part in a social media competition, #ToYourMacallan. You had to take a picture or video raising a toast to the new distillery.
I won and they are 10 winners in total globally, did anyone on here win or take part?

I'll be staying in the Craigellachie for 2 nights and the weekend agenda is below, I'm really excited about going, decided to drive up and hoping to visit Glendronach on the Sunday.

Had a good time at Macallan, sadly no Genesis bottle was offered or tasted but it was a great bunch of winners and we all got on really well.

Very jealous, so what was the highlight whisky tasted on your trip?

Everyone enjoyed the Rare Cask Black but the highlight was a cask sample for the Reflexion.

Very jealous of your trip also.I have had a couple of friends who have tasted the Macallan Reflexion say that it is a stunning whisky.
