Not many visitors to this years Isle of Man TT races will realise that on the 4th June 2013, you will have an opportunity to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Joey’s first TT win for Honda.

To celebrate this unique event, Joey's charity (Joey Dunlop Foundation), has purchased a consignment of a young, well matured blended malt whisky from McWiskersons of Bothwell Ltd.

With a specially designed label that commemorates both the 30th anniversary of Joey's first Honda win as well as celebrating three years since the charities holiday complex was opened, the limited edition of 2013 bottles will be in much demand.

Each bottle has an unique number with the famous no 3 being presented to Mrs Linda Dunlop and no 30 to a representative of Honda, a company that has supported Joey Dunlop Foundation on many occasions since 2000.

To comply with licensing regulations, the charity recruited the help of Martin Brunnschweiller of Bushy’s Brewery who readily agreed that he would sell the whisky from the famous Bushy's Beer Tent, Douglas promenade.

Kevin Quirk of Joey Dunlop Foundation said:

'The success of the accessible self catering holiday accommodation has far exceed our wildest expectations and in order to ensure that funds are in place to undertake the construction of two additional holiday apartments, we had to decide on something different and after months of research and liasing with the relevant authorities the decision to proceed with the bottling of this whisky was given in March 2013.

‘We do expect demand to be high and will limit sales to 300 bottles per day starting on Tuesday 28th May 2013.’

In order to avoid disappointment please do not delay your purchase and remember do not drink before driving only after you have put the keys away.

I would love a bottle, but the price seems to be a secret !

Hi Pat,

I think you either have to be at Bushys Tent to find out how much it will cost you, or possibly buy it through the JDF on-line website after Tuesday the 28th.

As many people are aware , Joey Dunlop Foundation was established to provide accessible holiday accommodation for people with a wide range of disabilities.

With facilities being described as the best in Britain , demand has far exceeded our wildest expectations and in order to avoid disappointment especially for people with short life expectancy we have decided to build two more apartments.

We are a small committee and it has become apparent that as we approach our 60's we are no longer capable of spending 12 hours a day on our stall and decided we needed to research a one off .

The idea of the whisky was first discussed in early 2012, after extensive market research and meetings with the various regulators , the team gave the approval to Ralfy of http://www.ralfy.com to source a unique and special brand of whisky.

Like many of you , we were very disappointed that we were unable to find an Irish based distillery or supplier that would supply what is a small consignment of whiskey, therefore we had no option but to purchase whisky.

Why is the cost £45.00?

We needed to purchase a quality blend , however as JDF is not Vat registerred we are unable to recover the Vat.

Already TT is looking extremely busy for the JDF Team, this whisky is a one off and never to be repeated again so plus support JDF and not knock the people who are prepared to work extremely long hours for Joeys charity.
