I wrote the other day about the launch of Auchentoshan.com. I’d just like to push for their competition a little bit more. The prize should definitely be something for you whisky-lovers out there.

To celebrate the launch of their revamped online presence, visitors to the new Auchentoshan.com are being offered the opportunity to win a rare bottle of Auchentoshan 1957 – one of only 144 hand-numbered bottles in the world.

The competition to win a limited edition bottle of Auchentoshan 50 year old worth £2,500 will appear online until October. Bottled at cask strength 49.1%, the exclusive vintage from a Spanish Oloroso sherry cask has been matured at the lowland distillery warehouse in Dumbartonshire on the outskirts of Glasgow.

The whisky has a light fragrance of eucalyptus followed by a butterscotch and treacle sweetness. A splash of water brings out an aroma of ripe soft fruit and fresh green apples. Mild mint combines with sweet light treacle and dark chocolate on the palate, providing a silky smooth and deliciously complex finish.

So, head over there and WIN!
