Bushmills competition to make your own whiskey

Entries have opened for the ‘Make it at Bushmills' competition which will see one person spend 30 days at Bushmills in Northern Ireland and be the first person outside of the distillery to create their own blend of Bushmills Irish Whiskey. The competition closes on 30 June 2010.

Colum Egan, Bushmills master distiller, said, “This is an opportunity for someone to come to the distillery and get a unique experience of what goes on here. I'm looking for someone with a sense of adventure, someone who's passionate about life and a whiskey lover, someone who's ready to share the Bushmills story with the world.”

The global search will give millions of people the chance to apply online through the Bushmills Facebook page. For the winner there are the added attractions of £5 000 (about R55 000) in spending money and an all expenses paid 30 days in Ireland, living in luxury penthouse accommodation.
