The Official
Single Malt of Edinburgh Rugby, Glen
Moray releases a limited edition 15 Year
Old Homecoming Edition to celebrate the
club's first ever permanent home: DAM
Health Stadium.
 The
Official Single Malt of Edinburgh Rugby,
Glen Moray, today released an exclusive
new whisky to celebrate the construction
and completion of the club’s first ever
permanent home: DAM Health Stadium.
Glen Moray 15 Year Old ‘Homecoming
Edition’ has been fully matured in
sherry casks at the distillery in Elgin
and the bottle and box features graphics
of the capital team’s new home, with its
signature burnt orange posts, on the
pack design.
Proudly situated on the doorstep of BT
Murrayfield, home of the Scotland
national team, the new £5.7 million
ground can hold 7,774 loyal fans on
match day – all within a heartbeat of
the action thanks to covered stands and
safe standing areas lining every side of
the pitch.
Having played all over the city, from
Goldenacre to Jock’s Lodge, Murrayfield
to Meadowbank in their illustrious
149-year history, this is the club’s
first ever permanent home.
James Collins, Glen Moray’s UK Marketing
Manager, hopes that loyal Edinburgh
Rugby fans will snap up one of the 1000
limited edition bottles being released
to mark this momentous occasion with a
dram.
He commented: "As the Official Single Malt Whisky partner of
Edinburgh Rugby, we’re thrilled that the
club is home at last. We’re marking the
moment with our very special Homecoming
Edition – a glorious 15-year-old whisky
that is a fitting tribute to this
exciting new era for the club and for
rugby in Edinburgh. It has been selected
and bottled especially for the fans: a
perfect pre or post-match warmer for the
cold winter nights, with all the rich,
sweet notes you’d expect from Glen
Moray’s classic Speyside whisky when it
has been matured in sherry casks."
The road to their new stadium has been a
long one for Edinburgh Rugby, with the
pandemic delaying construction in the
final stretch. However, now at home in
their new surroundings, the club’s
homecoming has been worth the wait with
record crowds attending Edinburgh
Rugby’s opening United Rugby
Championship fixtures.
Edinburgh Rugby Managing Director
Douglas Struth said: "It’s brilliant
that we’re able to commemorate such a
special season in the club’s history
alongside our Official Single Malt
Whisky Partner, Glen Moray. The
Homecoming Edition is a truly unique and
iconic bottle, which is fitting as we
pay tribute to a season 149 years in the
making. We hope supporters really get
behind this special edition bottle this
festive season and raise a glass to both
Glen Moray and our homecoming year."
Glen Moray Homecoming Edition is bottled
at 40% ABV in 70cl bottles with a RRP of £60. The
release is limited to only 1000 bottles which
are available to buy in person from the Inverarity Morton Bottle Shop at Bonnie
& Wild in Edinburgh’s St James Quarter
