The Speyburn Clan Cask pub quiz - Results

Last week we set you a challenge.  Many of you responded to the challenge.  The prize was a bottle of the rare Speyburn 1975 Clan Cask which had been kindly donated by the guys at Inver House Distillers to help celebrate Whisky For Everyone's 5th birthday.  To win a £230 bottle of whisky required some work and to this end, we devised the Speyburn Clan Cask pub quiz.  The quiz consisted of three rounds which ran over three days - one on general knowledge, one multiple choice and one picture quiz round.  All the answers were linked to Speyburn.

We had plenty of entries, but only six got all of the answers correct.  We are delighted to announce that the winner of the bottle of Speyburn 1975 Clan Cask is Adrian Barnett from Billinghurst in West Sussex.  Congratulations to Adrian.  A huge thank you to everyone who took the time and entered, and especially those that said they enjoy the quiz and researching the answers so much.  Thanks also to those who expressed kind words about Whisky For Everyone.
