It's a wrap: Angels' Nectar Whisky Caching

The sweep team have been out and returned all the Angels' Nectar Whisky Caches to Angels HQ. We had a record 192 register for Angels' Nectar Whisky Caching this year, with guests from Austria, Denmark, Germany and Shetland amongst others. With challenging weather (who'd have thought snow shovels might be useful!), a big congratulations to all who found our Angels' Nectar Whisky Caches. This years champions however are the Coopers, the only group to visit all four Angels' Nectar Whisky Caches.

This event simply would not be possible without the support of the land owners, community groups  and other local businesses that make it possible. They really are our Angels. Thus our thanks are due to: Elephants in the Pantry, Fishing Maps, Friends of Ben Rinnes, Friends of Craigellachie Bridge, Glen Rinnes Estate, Strathspey Estate, Spirit of Speyside, and last but not least the Speyside Heather Centre, who painted their pagoda in advance of your visit.

Slainte!

Dram time for the Angels

Angels' Nectar Whisky Caching returns

Angels’ Nectar Whisky Caching returns for the 20th Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.
Similar to geo-caching, but with whisky,  we will hide a trail of  Angels’ Nectar Whisky Caches across Speyside for the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. Guests will be able to find the whisky filled caches via a series of clues after registering for the event via the Spirit of Speyside web site. The first to find each Angels’ Nectar Whisky Cache will be rewarded with one of our 200ml bottles of Angels’ Nectar Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, perfect for sharing.
Whilst there is no charge to take part, whisky cachers are asked to leave a whisky miniature (or better!) in place of the dram they find. Thus everyone who finds an Angels’ Nectar Whisky Cache will be a winner. 
Geo-caching is a worldwide treasure-hunting phenomenon, which started in 2000 and has grown to encompass more than three million caches across 190 countries. Our Angels’ Nectar version does not require GPS, but as the search for the caches will involve some light walking, outdoor clothing and footwear are recommended. The caches will also contain a logbook for participants to record their visit, and guests are invited to share their experience and tasting notes of the dram they find on social media, with #angelsnectarwhiskycache
We hope Angels’ Nectar Whisky Caching will encourage festival goers to explore Speyside’s beautiful countryside and discover new drams. Whilst there is no need to have been geo-caching before, for the whisky loving geo-cacher, what could be better than a trail of Angel’s share inspired whisky filled caches.

Angels’ Nectar Whisky Caching is one of more than 650 events due to take place across Speyside as part of the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, which this year runs from the 1^stto the 6^thof May. In addition we will be offering the opportunity to try Angels' Nectar at Elephants in the Pantry, Grantown-on-Spey, on the 4^th of May and at Brodie Countryfare, Forres, on the 5^th of May.
For more, and to register for the event, please follow this link to the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival website.  

Angels' Nectar - liquid treasure

Angels' Nectar Whisky Caching - It's a wrap

That’s the Angels’ Nectar Whisky Caches all returned to Angels’ Nectar HQ. The Grantown cache was more challenging than we envisaged, so apologies for that.

Very many thanks to all at the Highlander Inn, Speyside Way Rangers, Anagach Woods Trust, Elephants in the Pantry, Old Bridge Inn, Deli Mair, and the Spirit of Speyside WhiskyFestival who helped us put the trail together.

A special congratulations to the Coopers who successfully found all three Angels' Nectar Whisky Caches, and a final thank you to all who joined in the fun, look what you left for the Angels!

Introducing Angels' Nectar Whisky Caching - our whisky treasure hunt for the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival

Helping themselves to every cask on Speyside, the Angels get a bad name. So for the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, and with a nod to geo-caching, we at Angels' Nectar Whisky have decided to try and help the Angels make amends by giving something back.

So on behalf of the Angels, we will be laying a trail of three Angels’ Nectar Whisky Caches across Speyside, with a series of clues to find them during the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. The first to find each Angels’ Nectar Whisky Cache will find one of our new 200ml bottles of Angels’ Nectar Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, perfect for sharing.

Whilst there is no charge to take part, we ask that if you take anything from the Angels' Nectar Whisky Caches, do please leave a whisky miniature (or better!) in its place. This way everyone who finds an Angels' Nectar Whisky Cache will be a winner.

The first step: please visit our listing on the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival website,  and register to begin receiving the clues. Good luck!
