Storywood Tequila Competition

In addition to all things whisky, we’re also passionately gin-spired by other rum-arkable sips and serves. So for our September bottle competition, we’re thrilled to be combining our love for whisky with another sensational spirit – Tequila!

As part of their UK launch, we’re thrilled to be teaming up with Storywood Tequila, to give one of our followers the chance of winning not one but two bottles of their Speyside Whisky finished Tequilla.

With its heart of Mexico and its soul of Scotland, Storywood Tequila was founded by Scotsman Michael Ballantyne, who was inspired to create this innovative tequila while spending time in his mother’s hometown of San Miguel De Allende, Mexico.
 
Storywood Tequila Speyside 7 Reposado, is aged for 7 months in Scottish Speyside whisky casks and tastes of caramel, oak, vanilla and honey on an earthy agave base. Delicious served neat but can be mixed with ginger beer or cola in a highball glass with ice and lime wedge.

Storywood Tequila Speyside 14 Añejo, which recently won a Double Gold in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020, is aged for over 14 months in Scottish Speyside whisky casks and is tantalising with notes of toasting oak, roasted nuts and treacle toffee. Can be served neat, on ice or in an Old Fashioned cocktail.

To be in with a chance of winning bottles of Storywood Tequila Speyside 7 Reposado and Storywood Tequila Speyside 14 Añejo click here to email us with your contact details and date of birth, along with the phrase that dramming pays:

“I’d love to pour and explore a spiritual
sensory story that starts in Mexico
and finishes in Scotchland”

*Remember to mark the subject line of your email with: Storywood Comp
