SCOTCH malt whisky cream liqueur brand, Magnum, is backing Team GB men’s curling team year at this year’s Winter Olympics with a series of commemorative bottles.
The Winter Olympics 2026 kicks off in Italy on February 6, featuring 3,000 athletes from around 90 nations competing across seven sports and 15 venues.
To mark the occasion, Magnum has released five special bottle designs dedicated to each of the nation’s curling stars – who are known collectively as ‘Team Mouat’. The team of four men from Scotland are the current men’s World Curling Champions and previously took home the silver medal at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.
Team skipper, Bruce Mouat, and his teammates Hammy McMillan, Grant Hardie, and Bobby Lammie have now been honoured with the face of each player wrapped around their very own bottle of Magnum. A celebratory bottle featuring the full Team Mouat group together is also available.
The curling stars have also signed a new sponsorship deal with Magnum for 2026. As Magnum’s official brand ambassadors, Team Mouat is helping to represent and boost the brand on the world stage.
Bruce Mouat said, “It’s a real honour to have ongoing support from Magnum as we prepare to head off to Italy and compete for Great Britain. We think the limited edition Team GB bottles look fantastic and have given us such a boost as we complete our final training.
“As well as promoting Magnum to around 90 nations at the Winter Olympics, we’ll be helping to raise the profile of curling and encouraging people to give it a go for themselves.”
Edinburgh-based Hemisphere Brands is the global brand agent for Magnum and manages the brand from production planning through to the strategy for market entry, as well as executing the sales, marketing and global distribution plan.
Lee Schofield, director for Magnum, said, “We’re so proud to be supporting the Team GB men’s curling team at this year’s Winter Olympics in Italy and cheering them on with their very own limited edition bottle of Magnum. They’re an amazing group of guys, who really embody the spirit of our nation. We think they’re the perfect ambassadors to represent the Magnum brand and curling on the world stage.
“People can now show their own support for Team Mouat by snapping up one of our 600 commemorative bottles online, while stocks last.”
Magnum is a fusion of single malt Scotch whisky and cream. Smooth, creamy caramel notes play off single malt Speyside whisky for a ‘balanced taste with a warming ginger afterglow’.
The brand is also a pioneer when it comes to its packaging. The liquid is contained in a unique, stainless steel flask, which is designed to be reusable and recyclable. It also keeps the liqueur chilled at the optimum temperature without the need for ice.
