To mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns and Homecoming Scotland 2009, The Famous Grouse has created 250 bottles of The Famous Grouse 37 year old blended malt whisky, signifying every year of Burns’ life.
Renowned Scottish artist and playwright John Byrne was commissioned by The Famous Grouse, to create an original drawing of Robert Burns to adorn the limited edition whisky.
The bottles, which are valued upwards of GBP 400, will be auctioned off at Burns Suppers all over the world and hope to raise aroun GBP10,000 for chosen charities.
The bottles have been created as part of The World Famous Burns Supper Celebration, which The Famous Grouse is organising in partnership with Homecoming Scotland 2009.
