Whisky producer Isle of Arran Distillers has released a limited edition bottling of its single malt to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns, which took place on 25 January 2009.
Fifteen ex-sherry casks were selected from the 1998 distillation by distillery manager James MacTaggart to produce 6,000 bottles of Robert Burns 250th Anniversary Malt.
Arran is the only whisky distiller entitled to use the name of the Scottish bard (the bottling has been officially endorsed by the World Burns Federation, the organisation which promotes and protects the legacy of Robert Burns), and the label features the image and signature of Burns onthe label and accompanying gift box.
