LOCH Lomond Whiskies has raised £14,230 for The R&A Foundation.
The money was raised through a Golden Ticket campaign during two major championships, with all proceeds going to the foundation to help improve lives and communities through golf.
A total of 1,423 golden tickets were sold to spectators at The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale and the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes, with each ticket costing £10.
The campaign gave fans the chance to win one of Loch Lomond Whiskies’ rarest releases, with all proceeds supporting The R&A Foundation’s efforts to make golf more accessible, improve wellbeing and create opportunities for emerging talent globally.
The winning ticket holder, Andrew from Liverpool, took home a rare bottle of Loch Lomond 50-year-old single malt whisky, valued at £25,000.
Only 100 bottles of the whisky exist worldwide.
Loch Lomond Whiskies is an independent Scotch whisky distiller based in Alexandria, just a few miles from the loch.
The distillery uses both traditional swan-neck and signature straight-neck stills, a unique feature that allows greater control over the final flavour profile of its whiskies.
The company is one of only four distillers in Scotland with an onsite cooperage, ensuring each cask meets its exacting standards for whisky maturation.
Andrew Jack, group marketing director at Loch Lomond Group, said: “We have been delighted by the response to The Golden Ticket and the generosity shown by golf fans across both The Open and AIG Women’s Open.
"Raising £14,230 for The R&A Foundation is a fantastic result and demonstrates what can be achieved when we bring together our passion for whisky with our long-standing commitment to golf.
“As The Spirit of The Open, we wanted The Golden Ticket to add something special to the spectator experience while making a positive contribution to the future of the game.
"We’re incredibly proud that the funds raised will support The R&A Foundation’s important work, helping to create opportunities and make a lasting difference through golf.”
