Aberfeldy and Dewar’s have both jumped into Burns Night – January 25, 2022 – celebrations with cocktail kit offerings to help those in the UK with their annual whisky-infused celebrations of the Scottish poet, Robert Burns.
Aberfeldy has collaborated with at-home drinks platform Canvas to create a Burns Night package complete with cocktails from some of the UK’s top bartenders – Stephen Mutty, Danny McManus and Kaitlin Wilkes-Back – who will each develop an Aberfeldy-based drink themed around the Scottish poet. The kit includes these three serves, an aromatic spray inspired by the Burns poem “A Red, Red Rose”, birchwood coasters handmade at The Workshop Aberfeldy, potato crisps, a curated playlist, videos hosted by the bartenders and an original poem.
Meanwhile, Dewar’s has created a Burns Night meal and drinks with Scotch cocktails created in a collaboration with bar expert Mark Low of Mr Lyan Studio.
Dewar’s Burns Night meal and drinks contains haggis, Scotch eggs and sweet chili dip, jerk chicken, plantain mash and lime salsa and a pair of Low-created cocktails using Dewar’s Caribbean Smooth whisky: New Town, which also has a spiced syrup and sweet vermouth, while the Cranachan on Holiday Highball has oats, coconut, strawberries, honey, allspice and soda water.
The Dewar’s Burns Night meal and drinks cocktail kit is being made available for $95 at allinabox.com.
