Free whisky

Aberlour certificateTen years ago I bought, was given or somehow acquired a bottle of Aberlour single malt.

And very nice it was too.

Even better, it came with a certificate that entitled the bearer to a free bottle of whisky one decade later.

Being a true pedantic accountant, I had kept the certificate safe, and had put a reminder on my electronic calendar that it had to be returned between 1 July and 30 September 2010.

I am now awaiting delivery of my bottle, which will undoubtedly taste all the better for being free.

unfairly not recognised as one of the best drams from speyside. Always seems to find itself on special offer in the supermarkets. Good luck with your freebie only wish Ardbeg (Isaly) came in at the same price.............

Might this not lead to anti-social conduct? (shhh, don't let the free church continuing hear about it!)

I am not an accountant, but I too kept my voucher from 10 years ago. Still waiting for my bottle after 4 weeks.

I'm told that delivery will be after 1 September, when the lists close.
