The Black Grouse Scotch Whisky is teaming up with 5pm to offer readers the chance to win four tickets to an evening with four of the UK’s leading adventurers: Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Ben Fogle, Olly Hicks and Kenton Cool at The Hub, Edinburgh.
You can buy tickets from here.
In celebration of its own distinctive character, The Black Grouse is proud to present an event which will see these icons talk about the highs and lows of their expeditions and what motivates them to push themselves further than anyone else.
From Britain’s greatest explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, to the face of the next generation, Olly Hicks, they will also discuss the personality traits that define an adventurer in today’s world.
You can read the 5pm Dining blog’s interview with Kenton here.
Competition winners will also be invited to a VIP drinks reception where they will have the chance to sample The Black Grouse signature serve, The Black & Black. The recipe is below if you want to try it at home.
The Black Grouse boasts a smoky smooth taste profile and, like its namesake, has a bold and distinctive character.
The whisky itself is an intriguing blend of The Famous Grouse with specially selected peated malts resulting in a rich, dark, russet whisky which is smokier and deeper in flavour.
On the palate, the peaty character comes through in spice and dried fruit flavours, and smoky oak that leaves a long aromatic finish.
