Modern Day Rebels Sought to Battle against TEAM JOSH on Scottish Adventure
TORONTO
,
Dec. 16
/CNW/ - DRAMBUIE(R) Liqueur is proud to announce that famous film and television actor
Josh Duhamel
will take part in the 2010 DRAMBUIE Pursuit - an epic outdoor adventure challenge across the wild terrain of the Scottish Highlands. Canadian fans can sign up for the opportunity to test their endurance in this all expenses paid adventure, by entering a team of four at www.DrambuieDen.ca. From speedboat racing and white water rafting, to dune buggy racing and mountain climbing, contestants will enjoy the experience of a lifetime as they race against Josh in the footsteps of a legendary Scottish Prince.
The rugged 100-mile race course retraces the 1745 journey across the Highlands by Scotland's rebel
Bonnie Prince Charlie
, for whom DRAMBUIE was created. After a failed attempt at taking over the British throne, the Prince left to his loyal subjects the secret recipe for DRAMBUIE. Each year, teams from around the globe celebrate his ambitious journey and in
May 2010
, fifteen international teams of four, including 1 team from
Canada
, will compete head to head in the legendary DRAMBUIE Pursuit race across Scotland. As the captain of one of the teams, Duhamel is currently seeking worthy Canadian contenders to battle against his foursome in the Scottish highlands.
"The DRAMBUIE Pursuit will be the experience and challenge of a lifetime," said
Josh Duhamel
. "Every day I face adventures in my acting career, but this is something that I never dreamed I'd get to do. I'm looking for worthy competitors who really capture the rebellious and passionate spirit of
Bonnie Prince
Charlie!"
"2009 has been a landmark year for DRAMBUIE," said Michael Corvese, Brand Manager for DRAMBUIE
Canada
. "We've commemorated 100 years since our very first bottling in
Edinburgh
with the introduction of a striking clear bottle design, and now we are thrilled to sustain that exciting momentum with Josh's participation in the 2010 DRAMBUIE Pursuit."
