A Dubliner has walked away with €20 after winning a quirky contest for their uncanny resemblance to the iconic Irish whiskey brand, "Mescal". The competition, held in a local pub, attracted a number of hopefuls vying for the cash prize and a lifetime supply of Mescal.
The Contest: A Test of Mescal Likeness
The contest, which was organized as a light-hearted celebration of the brand's legacy, involved participants showcasing their "Mescal-ness". Judges, comprised of bar patrons and local personalities, assessed each contender based on various criteria, including:
- Facial features: The likeness of the participant's face to the Mescal logo, with a particular focus on the distinctive "Mescal" eyes and the brand's signature green hue.
- Personality: Judges considered the contestant's overall demeanor and whether they embodied the "Irish charm" often associated with the brand.
- Spirit: The contestant's enthusiasm and genuine love for Mescal were also taken into account.
The Winner: A Mescal Doppelganger
The winner, a local artist named Fiona O'Malley, proved to be the most convincing Mescal look-alike. Fiona, with her vibrant green eyes and infectious laughter, immediately captured the judges' attention.
“I was surprised to win," Fiona confessed, "I never thought I looked like the Mescal logo, but I guess the judges saw something I didn't!” She was presented with a €20 cheque, a personalized Mescal bottle, and a lifetime supply of the brand's signature whiskey.
