Celebrate Burns Night in Style with The Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News
Burns’ Night is one of the hottest dates in the Scottish calendar; a lively tradition that celebrates the life and poetry of Scotland’s favourite son, Robert Burns. Burns was a Scottish poet and lyricist, recognised as a pioneer of the Romantic Movement and widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland. So why not,celebrate in style with one of our fantastic offerings
A 25 year old Blended Scotch Whisky from Cutty Sark named in honour of Robert Burns’ famous Scot’s poem and character, Tam O’Shanter. This whisky was released to celebrate Burns’ Night and is limited to only 5,000 bottles. If you buy only one bottle to celebrate the Scottish bard, it should be this one! This whisky boasts flavours of sherry, chocolate and brown sugar and is housed in one of our favourite presentation boxes.
LOCH FYNE BUNNAHABHAIN 14 YEAR OLD
One of our all time favourite Bunnahabhain whiskies – we think this is outstanding. Distilled in 2001, this whisky was then filled into a top quality sherry butt where it matured for 14 years. Distilled at 48% volume, it is limited to just 960 bottles.
Stewed winter fruits with cinnamon are followed by gentle bursts of sweet satsuma and zesty lemon, before settling on soft and gently smoked heather and a white peppery warmth. The balance of flavours is perfect. The finish combines turfy peat, liquorice, and a drying charred oak and spice.
Ideal for any Burns’ Supper, with the rich flavours of the Bunnahabhain complementing the haggis perfectly.
