Chivas - More Drifting
A few weeks ago in Inbox we spoke about the first part of Drifting, a film that was a collaboration between the Chivas whisky brand and Mexican arthouse film makers Canana. To see this first part directed by Diego Luna - click here. Now the second part of the 'adventure' has been released, this time directed by Gael Garcia Bernal. This carries on from the first part and again plays on the concept of friendship and sharing, which the brand is trying to portray.
A couple of weeks ago, we reported on the call for nominations for this year's Drammie Awards - a whisky award that allows the general whisky fan and consumer to nominate and vote for their best (and worst) whiskies and whisky related topics over the previous year. All of the nominations have now been collated by the organisers For Whiskey Lovers, and they are asking people to vote for their favourites from the finalists list.
This can be done by visiting the special page on their website - to do this click here. Their are 15 categories that you can vote in, with five selections to choose from in each category, and you have up until Friday 15 March. The winner of each category will be announced on Monday 1 April. We are delighted to have been selected as one of the finalists in the 'Best Whisky Information Source' category - this is the first thing that we have ever been nominated for and we are up against some stiff competition in there, but we will see how we do!
Glenmorangie, the famous single malt brand from the north Highlands and the official spirit of the Open Golf Championship, has announced a new competition that invites golfers and whisky fans to vote for the top golf courses in the world.

A series of tempting monthly prizes will also be on offer, including a trip to the 2014 Open Championship at Royal Hoylake.
The popular Speyside single malt of Macallan have announced their latest collaboration, this time with sport and lifestyle brand Oakley Inc.
