RARE WHISKY COLLECTION AT FNB WHISKY LIVE FESTIVAL SANDTON

If you are a whisky-lover you don’t mind crossing the oceans and making a few sacrifices along the way to obtain a rare whisky. But, no matter how dedicated you are in your efforts, there’s always that one whisky which remains out of reach. Now visitors to the 2014 FNB Whisky Live Festival could win such a rare collection!

Only two single malts have ever been launched under the proudly South African Three Ships label. The first single malt was launched in 2003 and the most recent one released in limited-edition collectors’ tins over a three-year period – in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Very few people, if any, managed to obtain all four. And since one can’t purchase these editions anymore, no matter who you know or how much you are willing to pay, this collection must rank among the ultimate collectors’ items!

Three very lucky whisky lovers visiting the 2014 FNB Whisky Live Festival in Sandton from 12 to 14 November will be able to walk away with the ultimate whisky collection – South Africa’s first single malt, launched in 2003 under the name Three Ships 10 Year Old Single Malt, and the second single malt, launched over a three-year period from 2010 in their special packaging commemorating three famous figures from the early history of the Cape namely Bartholomew Diaz (2010), Vasco da Gama (2011) and Jan van Riebeeck (2012).

Only 8 000 bottles were released each year and you will be hard-pressed to still find a bottle. If you do it will probably be of the 2012 limited edition and certainly not the entire collection and very definitely not the single malt of 2003.

Each night one of these collections will be presented to one winner. Visit the Three Ships stand to find out how you can be the lucky one.

During the festival, master distiller Andy Watts will be hosting workshops during which those attending will also be given a sneak preview of the much-anticipated Three Ships 10 Year Old single malt to be launched next year. He will also be demonstrating his vision for South African whiskies by means of some innovative cask finishes he has been working on at The James Sedgwick Distillery in Wellington. Pre-booking, which is essential for these workshops, can be done by visiting www.whiskylivefestival.co.za

Those not able to attend the workshops can join  more informal tastings of two World Whisky Awards’ World’s Best whiskies, the Three Ships Premium Select 5 Year Old (named World’s Best Blended Whisky in 2012) and Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky (World’s Best Grain Whisky in 2013) along with a very interesting blend Andy has been masterminding at the distillery.  Bookings for these tasting can be done on the evening at the Three Ships or Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky stand.
