    Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Contest

    Robertson will donate several bottles of Single malt to the malt table for the weekend…

    and he will also put a second bottle of one of the bottles on the table- that will be labeled “Mystery Malt.”

    You are all challenged to try to guess which single malt is the Mystery Malt (it will be exactly the same whisky as one of the other bottles on the table….)

    You will have from Friday mid-day to Saturday night to guess the Mystery Malt.

    The winner will receive a bottle of Single Malt from Robertson’s Collection…

    If there is more than one winner- we will have a ‘final taste off’ to determine the winner.
