There may be some sore heads today as the team recover from a busy 12 hours in the Scottish capital after winning a trip to Edinburgh for smashing their 2025 Christmas Social Media challenge!
The 27 strong contingent travelled up to Edinburgh from Preston, kicking off the proceedings on the train with ‘survival kits’ containing breakfast pastries, water and ‘Buzzballs’ – what could possibly go wrong!
A quick walk through the Old Town for a hearty Scottish breakfast filled with haggis and potato cakes was the perfect way to offset the early morning booze before heading to Edinburgh Castle for a photo stop and some culture.
The team then headed to the main activity for the day, The Johnnie Walker Experience organised by brand owners Diageo.
It was great for the team to be immersed in the experience, bust a couple of ‘whisky myths’ and learn how Johnnie Walker came from humble beginnings to being the world’s bestselling scotch whisky. Of course, the tigers had to sample it in all its forms from drams to cocktails tailored to their taste preferences
Fuelled by whisky cocktails, the team moved onto the New Town for more fun at pubs, The Queens and Boston Bar before finishing at Brewhemia for a quick one before the train back to Preston!
A great day was had by all with lots of drinking, laughing and team bonding.
Nick Buckle, Operations Manager thanked everyone for the day:
“Thank you to everyone who made yesterday such a great team day! Every single person plays an important part in making Blind Tiger what it is and I can’t wait to see where the next social media challenge takes us!”
The next social media challenge will take place in June for the World Cup and we have sure got a damn good prize planned for that one. Stay tuned…
