Hey Campers,
I hope the start of 2010 has been as fruitful for you as it has been for me and the Jalopy – we’ve been taking Black Bottle to the masses in Belgium! We were invited to the Gent Whisky Festival, involving a 24 hour ferry from Rosyth to Zeebrugge (with a horrific Neil Diamond tribute act included free of charge), putting the camper into the tightest lift it could possibly fit in and talking Islay Whisky for 3 days solid. Pictures below!
It was a great experience as many people in Belgium have not been introduced to Black Bottle before and I was pleased to hear on leaving that we were the best selling Whisky at the festival – a great compliment for me and Black Bottle.
I’d also like to mention how beautiful Gent is as a city. I found it a wonderfully medieval place filled with magnificent churches, canals and a historic castle. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a city break with a difference.
So what’s up next? Germany. I will be heading over to the Redebuel Fesival in March and the Limburg Festival in April. I’ll also be giving the locals the chance to make their own blend with the Black Bottle Blending Sessions…………..I just hope their English is better than my German.
Finally, over the coming months you will be able to have the chance to win some Black Bottle goodies, find out the where Black Bottle is on promotion and where we are sampling through our Black Bottle twitter page (www.twitter.com/blackbottle) and through the Black Bottle 1879 Club on Facebook.
