The Glenrothes’ Vintage Reserve Review and Giveaway

Now have I got a lovely giveaway to warm up January.

New The Glenrothes Vintage Reserve has arrived in Waitrose and online.

The bottle to me looks like I would have seen it in paintings of Scottish history centuries ago, but its brand new and Chris loves it so much he said he does not want to share it.

I am not a whisky drinker, so I had to get his review style.

His all time favourite whisky is a well know single malt with a similar start to the name. This had a lot to live up to.

Yet it did, he said its sublime, smooth and tickled his tonsils like an angel, haha, he sometimes is very amusing and tries to review in my style, but gets carried away with daft expressions.

I think you get the idea. He said "It is seriously good"  after I glared at him, this his usual response to something that is better than the norm and trust me if he says that it must be.

The Glenrothes’ Vintage Reserve was first tasted at a Guinness World Record-setting event (the Lord Provost of Glasgow’s Burns’ Night Supper in Jan 2015) but is now finally available nationally in Waitrose and via Ocado, whiskyshop.com and royalmilewhiskies.com.

It’s the latest whisky from the award-winning Single Malt, The Glenrothes - owned by the Queen’s wine and spirit merchants, the 317 year old Berry Bros. and Rudd. 

RRP £39.00 (70cl). 40% ABV. 

I have one bottle to giveaway to two winners from lovely people from The Glenrothes Vintage Reserve.

Just enter the easy peasy rafflecopter below.

Ends 7th January 2016.

I have to highlight two free Covent Garden soups this week if you have not grabbed any. Its on offer for £1 at Sainsbury's and there are two links to get £1 off. Nice Saturday lunch for the family, check out Money Off and Clever Combining below!!

Again I want to say a massive thank you to all the lovely bloggers who add their goodies each week.

 Pasta/sauce for 25p for 11 items!! Saving up to £21.25.

Mama Mia this is a bargain!!
I am hoping this makes sense and you have a spare cupboard. 
Barilla Pasta have a competition to win 1 of 25 AA Rosette restaurant vouchers. You get 3 goes a day and each one comes with a 50p off Barilla food. OK so if you buy at Morrisons all the pasta sauces and pastas are 75p. So 25p is a nice bargain.
Now to get the free pasta!!!  Take a photo with Barilla and ingredients used to make a dish, no need to get your Gordon Ramsey expletives as you try to create a masterpiece. Just the ingredients, that's it.
 Each one uploaded the entrant receives £1 off Barilla products and entry into a £500 Virgin Experience day. Now you can buy your first free sauce or pack of spaghetti.

Best of all you can enter 10 times. So 25p initial outlay for 11 packets of pasta and or sauce and 10 photos of different ingredient ideas!!

All Star Family Fortunes Giveaway

If you love the show, you will love my latest giveaway. I have three games to giveaway this month.
Don't miss out or it will be 'Uh-Uh' for you!!

TV Show fun for Christmas…

Drumond Park’s much loved All Star Family Fortunes board game (rrp £19.99, age 8 to adult) has just got even better with the introduction of the Christmas 2015 edition - complete with 300 brand spanking new ‘Our Survey Says’ questions!  This game is perfect for two families or teams.  

Miniature versions of all the All Star Family Fortunes props are included in the box, including the invincible electronic ‘UH-UH’-buzzer which is intrinsic to the much loved TV show. The big question is – can your team guess the most popular answers from a list of questions from the show?  Battle it out in the Single Money, Double Money and Big Money rounds and do your best to gain Bonus Points… just like the actual programme.

The elected ‘Host’ of the game is also encouraged to ham up their performance to their heart’s delight in true Vernon Kay style, to recreate the unique atmosphere of the show… guaranteeing a laugh a minute!

This game is ideal for family and social gatherings and after-dinner entertainment, providing hours of enjoyment and multi-generational fun - and you could win it, in plenty of time for the festive season!

   For stockists and to play games online, visit www.drumondpark.com

This giveaway is as always entered via Rafflecopter.

You only need to follow the blog via bloglovin and comment. If you want to do any of the other entries they are optional.

Three winners will be drawn, please note if you want the game in time for Christmas I will need a fast reply. Otherwise the game will arrive after the big day!!

Don't forget The What's Cookin' Recipe and music CD giveaway too. 5 to giveaway, itwill make a fab gift for a foodie!!
