Free Stuff - November
Yes kids, it's time once again for Free Stuff.
I'm happy to say that it's a T-shirt from my friends at Bruichladdich (size: XXLarge). And yes, that's the only size I have. So give it to the "big" Scotch-lover in your life. I crack myself up.
That's a pretty nice freebie all by it's lonesome - but what makes this shirt even more special is that it was schlepped all the way from the beautiful isle of Islay by Bruichladdich Master distiller Jim McEwan himself, as a special favor, specifically for one lucky reader of Scotch Blog.
You may have heard the story behind this WMD distillation but if you haven't, it's an amusing story which you can read here, but let me assure you, the story was funnier than hell when told to me by Jim McEwan.
Since this really is special, it will take a little work on your part - completing any one of the following three tasks will land you this great shirt.
- Be the first one to order The Instant Expert's Guide to Single Malt Scotch after reading this. You must order through Doceon Press, and you must put "The Laddie" in the notes field. OR,
- So as not to penalize people who have already bought the book - If you already own The Instant Expert's Guide to Single Malt Scotch, go to pages 25 and 57; email me the year of the Bruichladdich single cask in the picture at the bottom of page 25 AND the answer to the last question on page 57. OR,
- If you are sick of me promoting my book, be the first to email me a picture of yourself enjoying Bruichladdich. The bottle of Bruichladdich must be clearly visible. I reserve the right to post the winning photograph. (As an example, Mark Reynier was kind enough to include this picture of a fan in the Congo enjoying some Bruichladdich.)
Remember, only ONE of the above tasks needs to be completed, but you need to be the first to email at least one of them. I think they are fair tasks - Buy a book, read a book you've already bought, or prove that you drink Bruichladdich.
PLEASE NOTE: Shipping is free within the US or Canada. European winners must pay shipping. If you are not a winner and still want this (or any other Bruichladdich T-shirt), buy it here.
If you are a regular reader, you know I'm a big promoter of Bruichladdich - and with good reason. Bruichladdich is innovative, and more importantly, it is delicious. If you haven't tried one of their whiskies, you should.
But wait...there's more...a consolation prize...
The second person to respond gets a beautiful poster from Talisker. The poster is a map of the western Highlands and centers on the Isle of Skye.
And just as a teaser, I have shirts from a few different companies in the massive Free Stuff vaults.
