The Glenlivet, the iconic Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, is announcing today the establishment of a prestigious new partnership with Cabot Highlands, the luxury golf destination set in the breathtaking Scottish Highlands. The partnership kicks off just in time for Father's Day, offering Canadians multiple ways to experience the collaboration firsthand, and the chance for one lucky Canadian to win the experience of a lifetime in Scotland.
This Father's Day, The Glenlivet, in partnership with Cabot Highlands, is offering you and your father the trip of a lifetime to experience the breathtaking Scottish Highlands in an unforgettable way. The winning pair will travel to Cabot Highlands, near Inverness, where they will be among the very first to play the highly anticipated new 18-hole golf course, Old Petty, and enjoy a round at Castle Stuart, one of Cabot's acclaimed World Top 100-ranked golf courses. Their once-in-a-lifetime journey will be completed with a private tour of The Glenlivet's iconic distillery near Speyside.
