News Release: 18TH August, 2015
GAME SET AND CASK FOR DISTILLERY’S OWN
From royalty
to movie stars, The Famous Grouse Experience has this week played yet another
ace in naming its range of distillery exclusive Bottle Your Own casks after a
glorious array of Famous Perthshire citizens. Global tennis star, Andy Murray,
will take to centre court this month as the third in its Famous line-up.
The Bottle
Your Own single cask series are hand-picked as exceptional casks from the
Glenturret Distillery by The Famous Grouse Master Blender, Gordon Motion. These
are extremely collectable and the bottles from these casks are only available
from the Glenturret Distillery shop and online on both the UK and global sites.
The first
two exclusive casks have already been snapped up by whisky fans, starting with
a limited edition Earl and Countess of Strathearn Cask, bottled first by the
Duke & Duchess of Cambridge on their visit to the Distillery in 2014. The
second cask marked the achievements of Hollywood movie star and local lad, Ewan
McGregor.
With
seemingly no shortage of Famous names to choose from, the team at the Experience have extended their
celebrations for their third cask into the sporting arena and are marking the
achievements of Andy Murray, another ‘Famous’ character from the local area, who
will take his place in Distillery history alongside their very own Famous
Grouse. Also, continuing with the Bottle Your Own series’ links with charity,
£2 from every bottle sold from the Andy Murray Cask will be donated to a good cause.
Stuart
Cassells, General Manager at The Famous Grouse Experience at Glenturret
Distillery said:
“After the
massive popularity of both The Earl & Countess of Strathearn Cask and the
Ewan McGregor Cask we’ve extended our celebration of Perthshire’s most famous individuals.
Andy Murray and his family are from just down the road in Dunblane, his hotel
Cromlix is about 20 minutes away, and he’s a regular visitor to the area
because of his family and business connections. We hope the next time he’s home
in Dunblane he can pop through to try the whisky for himself at our Bottle Your
Own Experience. He would be most warmly welcomed.”
Glenturret’s
most recent bottlings have been popular with whisky fanatics across the globe.
The special release Commonwealth Games 26 Year Old was named in Jim Murray’s
Whisky Bible 2015 and recently sold out. The Brock Malloy limited edition release
earlier this year only has a handful of bottles remaining.
