Win a Free Trip to Cooley Distillery in Ireland With Master of Malt

LONDON, July 8, 2010 - The lucky winner and a friend will be flown to Dublin and put up at a
luxurious hotel for two nights. They will be wined and dined each night and
treated to an exclusive private tour of the legendary Cooley distillery. At
the end of the tour they will even receive a personalised bottle of
Tyrconnell malt whiskey as well as a bottle of the newly released Kilbeggan
Distillery Reserve to take home.

There is no limit to the number of entries per person, with one free
entry being given out with every single full-sized (70cl) bottle of Cooley
Whiskey (www.masterofmalt.com/distilleries/cooley-whiskey-distillery/)
bought from www.masterofmalt.com. Don't hang around though, because
there are only 250 chances to enter.

The limited number of entries (just 250) means that anyone who enters
will have an unusually high chance of winning and, unlike most competitions,
even if more people enter, that chance doesn't reduce. Because of this, the
draw is likely to be fully subscribed long before the closing date.

Master of Malt are an award-winning Online Retailer and Independent
Bottler of Whisky (
www.masterofmalt.com/distilleries/cooley-whiskey-distillery/) and
other fine spirits. The Cooley whiskey competition forms part of Master of
Malt's 25th birthday celebrations and it will feature an exclusive private
tour of Ireland's only independent, Irish-owned whiskey distillery. The tour
will culminate in a whiskey tasting and the winner will even receive a very
special personalised bottle of Tyrconnell whiskey and a bottle of the newly
released Kilbeggan whiskey - two malts which are held in high esteem amongst
Irish whiskey connoisseurs.

The Cooley whiskey distillery has become well-known for its production of
a number of Ireland's most critically-acclaimed whiskeys; malts from the
Tyrconnell range regularly score upwards of 94 points in the Jim Murray
Whisky Bible (Jim describes whiskeys in this bracket as being "Superstar
whiskies that give us all reason to live"!) In 2010, the Cooley distillery
was even declared "Distillery of the Year" by Malt Advocate's John Hansell
who commented on the quality and variety of whiskeys made at the distillery,
"In an era where hundreds of small distilleries are starting up across the
globe, Cooley can be an inspiration to them all".

To enter the Cooley competition, all participants must do is buy any
full-sized (70cl) bottle of Cooley whiskey from Master of Malt before 6pm the
1st of August 2010 arrives or the 250 chances to win run out. The lucky
winner will be named on of before the 7th August 2010.

The entire Cooley range is available to try before you buy through Master
of Malt's new Whiskey sample service, Drinks by the Dram.
