Our glorious island of Great Britain has a treasure trove of staycation spots to whet your whistle; both figuratively and literally! From the sunny shores of Cornwall to the iconic Scottish Highlands, there’s a heap of stunning spots that are perfect for any trip – the only hard part will be thinking of where to go?!?

Well, this is where the geniuses behind Naked Malt come into play. Not only do they craft a tasty blended malt, they’re also totally great at helping you craft your next adventure. You see, Naked Malt has launched the ‘Live Naked Experience’ where you and your mates, dates or others get a chance to pop off on a staycation adventure of a lifetime. Plus, they’ve got you covered with shed loads of seasonally and locally sourced yummies and tipples of Naked Malt.

We’ve totally got into our whisky and we love the fruitiness found in Naked Malt. These guys extra mature their whisky in first-fill sherry casks, where so much of the flavour of whisky comes from. Trust me, it pairs well with a whisky sour or even a hot toddy in the chiller months.

So, for a chance to win a spirited trip away, check out the Liberator Quiz here!

Trust me, we’ve just tried the quiz and they’ve nailed us, down to a tee! It’s as if the gang at Naked Malt knew we liked a good lay-in, chilled vibes and a good cocktail to boot!

So, if you’re looking for two keen pals to join your staycation adventure. Count us in; I promise we pack light and can make a mean whisky sour!
