Glenfiddich Explorers – The Box: Clue No. 4

August 7, 2010 by Gary Leave a Comment

Glenfiddich

Glenfiddich - The Goodies inside

Yesterday I received the last instalment in the story of the intriguing box from Glenfiddich Explorers.

Clue Number 4 is:-

Your mystery blog is a real exchange of whisky knowledge.

Well after looking at all the clues I reckoned that the blog in question belonged to The Whisky Exchange.

Glenfiddich

Glenfiddich Label

However, before I could receive a reply from The Whisky Exchange I received the code from Glenfiddich Explorers and was able to get into the mystery box!

Glenfiddich

Glenfiddich Cask Label

As you can see it contains a bottle of Cask Strength Glenfiidich 15 Year Old Single Malt.

Yahoo!

What a great mystery box and many thanks to Glenfiddich Explorers for sending it to me.

But there is also a chance to be one of the first to visit Warehouse Preview.
It is a new site and gives you the the opportunity to encounter tales of a pioneering spirit and win some great prizes!

It is well worth a visit and don’t forget there are some great Glenfiddich prizes to be won!

Best of luck!

Glenfiddich Explorers – The Box: Clues No. 2 & 3

August 5, 2010 by Gary Leave a Comment

Glenfiddich Explorers

Glenfiddich Explorers

Yesterday I told you about the intriguing box I received from Glenfiddich Explorers.

Well I received Clues Number 2 & 3 today.

Clue 2 is:-

Voted UK’s No.1 online whisky retailer by Icons of whisky.

Clue 3 is:-

A blog that is summed up as a wealth of whisky blogging goodness.

Glenfiddich have been very clever with this marketing campaign but I think I know who my code holder might be now so I’ve e-mailed them and asked for their 3-digit code.

I’ll not say who I think it is just yet but I reckon that most of you whisky lovers out there will know who I’m talking about.

Unless, of course, Glenfiddich have been really sneaky and sent me up a blind alley!

See you tomorrow for Clue Number 4!

Glenfiddich Explorers – The Box: Clue No. 1

August 4, 2010 by Gary Leave a Comment

Glenfiddich Explorers - the beautiful box and the beefy padlock

I received a very intriguing box today from the folks at Glenfiddich Explorers.

But, as it said on the label, there is a catch. A very big catch indeed. Big and brass.
Attached to the splendid box was a very sturdy looking big brass combination padlock!

So, what to do?

Obviously reach for the hacksaw, chainsaw, bench saw, flame thrower, anything heavy in fact to which I can attack said beefy padlock and wrench nice looking box open to reveal the Glenfiddich goodies inside.

Fortunately reason stepped in before I could step on the box and I noticed the back of the label attached to the padlock. It said to keep a sharp eye on my Inbox today to find out more.
So I did and I received the first of four clues for my efforts.

Apparently I’m one of 10 bloggers to receive this fiendish box from Glenfiddich and each of us have received a combination code to unlock someone elses box, but not mine!

Clue Number 1 which will unlock MY box is as follows:-

Look out for a blog that has 1,510 members on Facebook.

All I have to do is contact them and ask them for the code they are holding from Glenfiddich. Easy huh?

Right, well I haven’t got a clue but I now need to do some serious looking.

If anyone has got any ideas then do let me know. I can only stand so much anticipation …. and the chainsaw is poised as we speak …

See you tomorrow for clue number 2.

Glenfiddich Explorers - awaiting inspiration from me. It may be a while then ...

Focus on: Glenfiddich Distillery

March 3, 2009 by Gary Leave a Comment

[geo_mashup_map]

Glenfiddich was established by William Grant in 1876, with the first spirit running off the stills in 1887. Today the company is still run by his descendants and as the first whisky to truly market itself as a single malt, Glenfiddich now accounts for about 30% of all single malt sales worldwide. The iconic triangular green bottle was introduced in 1957 and can now be found in just about every licensed establishment (and probably most of the unlicensed ones as well) in the world.

Glenfiddich Caoran Reserve 12 Year old Single Malt

March 2, 2009 by Gary Leave a Comment

Glenfiddich Caoran Reserve / 12 Year old

Glenfiddich Caoran Reserve / 12 Year old

This particular brand is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky.

Glenfiddich has recently released this particular malt and it has a bit of a twist!
The malted barley has been dried using peat to produce a more characterful, smoky flavour. Shades of Islay malts perhaps?

Anyway it’s been a resounding successs since its launch and sure to become increasingly popular in the future.

You can buy it here: Glenfiddich Caoran Reserve / 12 Year old
