Thought I'd post this as a christmas gift for folk that might not have seen it, I like Whisky (Ironically collecting, more than drinking these days) but at £75 and probably coming as a set of 3 for £225 not sure if I'll dive in on this.
Rangers Football Club unveils their specialist Single Cask, Single Malt Scotch Whisky Series.
Combining two of life’s greatest pleasures, football and Scotch Whisky, three Limited Edition Single Cask bottlings will be released before Christmas. The trio of mature, refined and collectable Whiskies are bottled at 46% alcohol strength and offered without colouring or chill-filtration - rendering them the perfect winter warmers!
The Club worked with renowned Glasgow-based Scotch Whisky Distiller and Bottler, Douglas Laing to select the casks. The first release is a 13 Years Old Glenrothes Single Cask Single Malt Which is said to carry an amalgam of “vanilla’d oak, brown sugar and gentle spice”.
James Bisgrove, Rangers Commercial and Marketing Director, commented:
“Rangers are very proud to be launching an officially licensed scotch whisky series with Douglas Laing – together we have created a trio of exceptional, limited edition whiskies that are set to be enjoyed by fans all around the world. The Single Cask Single Malt whisky range marks the first of many launches with Douglas Laing and we look forward to releasing further special edition products in the future.”
Chris Leggat, Douglas Laing’s CEO added: “There is enthusiasm and passion for Scotch Whisky amongst the Rangers support so we are delighted to support the Club in releasing these three very special limited edition bottlings. After much deliberation, these excellent Single Casks were selected and form part of a sensational collectors set for Rangers fans and Whiskyenthusiasts alike.”
