The Spot the Whisky Barrel competition from Islay has NOW CLOSED for entries and we would like to thank all entrants for  entering the competition.

Despite our very best efforts, not as many tickets sold as we would have liked.

As a result, the prize fund is considerably short of the anticipated level, with the majority of the prizes being awarded equating to less than the entry fee.

I have given the situation some serious thought and consideration, (and lots and lots of discussion!) and on reflection, I have decided that the competition should be cancelled.

I realise that this will come as a disappointment to many of you. However, in the circumstances it seems unfair to proceed with the barrel drop when I know we are unable to meet people’s expectations.

I hope that you agree that the fairest route is to refund everybody their entry fee.

 

 

Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Where possible we will enclose a cheque by way of a refund of your entry fee. Alternatively, we will refund your entry fee using PayPal, which will take up to 5 to 30 working days (depending on your card provider). For the avoidance of doubt, the £25 hotel vouchers are no longer valid.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who participated and supported the competition. The support is very much appreciated and we hope your support and goodwill continues as we venture ahead with the building of the new hotel in Islay.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me using the email link at the top of this web page.

Kind regards
