Got this in an email, but can't seem to locate a url....

To enter my exciting new competition, simply read the following descriptions of four distilleries. I discovered every one of them when I was looking for the ideal whiskies that would blend together perfectly to create Bell’s rich taste.

INCHGOWER with its twin pointed towers has peat moors nearby that help to give Bell’s its rich lingering aftertaste.
DUFFTOWN nestles in a green, ancient valley where the freshness of pine subtly flavours every smooth glass of Bell’s.
CAOL ILA sits on the coast and adds a smokiness to the blend which could be the reason Bell’s goes so well with smoked salmon.
BLAIR ATHOL is the home of Bell’s where spring water and a dedication to perfection blend together to create the rich, rewarding taste of Bell’s.

(Here are 4 picture postcards)

Now take a look at the four picture postcards above. Then, work out which one of the picture postcards matches the description for BLAIR ATHOL, the home of Bell’s. Is it A, B, C or D? Click on your answer and you’ll be taken to my tie-breaker question. Then I think you should pour yourself a congratulatory dram. Don’t you?

Can anyone else help with a url?

I think the answer is D.
Tiebreak question is what year did Bells start? 18__
It's nice to be important.....but it's more important to be nice :)

    Is this possibly e-mail specific as it does say click through so I guess it will take you to it there? Maybe Copy and Paste the url that takes you to?

    The URL your email takes you to is specific to you. Without the personal bit on the end it is:-
    http://post.brandsofdiageo.com/bells/bells_tie_breaker.jsp;jsessionid=0;apw68
    If you go to this and try entering you will get an error message because it doesn't have your ID.

    If you are not already registered as a friend of Bells you could try entering THIS COMP and they might send you an email at some point inviting you to enter for this.

    While it looks like D to me too, the 1825 answer isn't all that clear. Thats the date on the bottles, but it isn't when they started making their own whisky!

    Well it says the answer is on the bottle so I presumed it must be 1825 since thats the only year on my bottle.
