A huge thanks to all those who took part and entered, the response was absolutely phenomenal. In return for your nominations we added the names of everyone who entered into our virtual Santa hat for a chance to win a bottle of Tamdhu 12 Year Old - M&S Exclusive.

We’re delighted to announce that Jonathan Prior from Stoke, had his name drawn from the hat and is our winner. Congratulations, your bottle will be winging its way to you later this week!
