STIRLING Distillery, Scotland’s smallest whisky distillery, has released a special limited-edition bottling whisky to celebrate 154 years of Scottish football and Scotland’s qualification for the World Cup.
The bottle has been designed by the distillery team and graphic designer, Siobhan O’Neill, with it featuring the exclusive Silver Spirit tartan from Stirling-based kilt makers, House of Henderson.
The label charts Scotland’s World Cup appearances over the decades – from Switzerland in 1954 to North America in 2026 – serving as both a collector’s piece and tribute to the supporters who have followed the national team.
The release is a Speyside blended malt Scotch whisky, smooth and well-balanced with bright citrus and Caribbean fruit, fresh green apple on the nose, and a clean, fruity finish. The liquid has been specially selected to complement the occasion – approachable, celebratory, and unmistakably Scottish.
Cameron McCann founder of Stirling Distillery, said, “Scotland going to the World Cup is a moment worth marking properly. We wanted to create something that football fans and whisky lovers alike would be proud to have on their shelf, a bottle that tells the story of this country’s relationship with the beautiful game. The Silver Spirit tartan and Siobhan’s design give it a real sense of occasion, and the whisky itself is everything a celebration dram should be.”
