Who wants to make some Scotch?
Nope this isn't another make your own booze post; I've not yet learned how to make Scotch in my bathroom. But YOU could make scotch in Scotland (which is at least 75% cooler than my bathroom) if you win The Glenrothes' I WANT TO MAKE SCOTCH contest. We were just alerted to this contest by our friends over at Liquor Locusts, which is another friendly neighborhood booze-blog you should be reading.
The Picturesque Glenrothes Distillery in Rothes, Scotland will be your home-away-from-home...until they kick you out.
Your bedroom will be right behind still #7. It should keep you toasty-warm!
The Blurb:
work at the historic Glenrothes distillery learning the art of creating Scotland’s quintessential elixir. The winners will be hosted by Ronnie Cox, Keeper of the Quaich and The Glenrothes Brand Heritage Director, and The Glenrothes Malt Master, Gordon Motion. The participants will spend time learning and honing their skills at each stage of the craft, from testing the fresh water source that runs alongside the distillery, to milling, mashing, fermenting and distillation. From there the whisky makers will be rolling up their sleeves at our onsite cooperage, laying down casks for maturation, nosing whisky from maturing casks to discover the art of maturation, and selecting exceptional casks to be bottled as The Glenrothes single malt whisky. Each of the winners will produce their own selection of The Glenrothes – labeled with their own hand-written tasting notes.
I'm a blogger and my handwriting is absolute crap so I think I'm disqualified but YOU CAN STILL WIN! Deadline for entry is January 31st, 2011.
