A MODERN Scottish distillery has created a limited-edition whisky to mark British Airway’s centenary year.
Airline representatives visited the InchDairnie distillery to launch the 12-year process ahead of World Whisky Day, which takes place tomorrow.
The Fife-based distillery’s whisky will be decanted into 300 bottles that will be served exclusively on British Airways flights in 2031.
Ian Palmer, managing director of InchDairnie – who has been distilling for 40 years – said: “We’re delighted we’ve been able to create a very special whisky for British Airways in their very special year.
“Although we are a new distillery who have a much younger heritage than British Airways, through the use of industry leading technology we are bringing together decades of industry experience and knowledge, enabling us to fine tune one of the most meticulously designed distillation processes in the world.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
