The Whisky Exchange Golden Ticket giveaway – it could be you!

‘I think,’ he said quietly, ‘I think … I’ll have just one more of those chocolate bars. The same kind as before, please.’

‘Why not?’ the fat shopkeeper said, reaching behind him again and taking another Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight from the shelf. He laid it on the counter.

Charlie picked it up and tore off the wrapper … and suddenly … from underneath the wrapper … there came a brilliant flash of gold.

Charlie’s heart stood still.

‘It’s a Golden Ticket!’ screamed the shopkeeper, leaping about a foot in the air.

If, like me, you enjoyed Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in your youth, then you’ll remember the magical feeling Charlie felt when he found Willy Wonka’s fifth and final Golden Ticket. Well, we’d like to recreate that feeling for five of our customers, so we’ve designed our very own Golden Ticket – and we’ll be popping them into five random parcels throughout December.

If you find one, then congratulations – you’ve just won a bottle of The Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 – the hard-to-find Japanese whisky that’s on everyone’s lips after being named World Whisky of the Year by Jim Murray in his Whisky Bible 2015.

We have had a staggering level of interest in the whisky since Jim’s award – 10,000 customers have asked to be notified if we get hold of more stock. So, in an attempt to be as fair as possible, we have decided to give away all six bottles of the Sherry Cask 2013 we have recently acquired, rather than sell them.

The sixth bottle will be raffled at our London Bridge shop at Vinopolis, and what’s more, 10 runners-up will also win a bottle of the highly rated Yamazaki 12 Year Old (we’ll pick 10 email addresses at random). All you have to do is place an online order with us by 31 December, open your TWE parcel carefully…and if you see a flash of gold, you will have even more reason to celebrate this Christmas. Find out more here, and good luck!
