Famous Grouse launches Ewan McGregor Cask

The Famous Grouse is set to launch Bottle Your Own Ewan McGregor Cask this month, the most recent expression in its series of limited edition “Famous” releases.

The Famous Grouse Experience unveils Bottle Your Own Ewan McGregor cask

It follows the success of the limited release Earl and Countess of Strathearn Cask that was bottled by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when they visited the distillery earlier this year.

The Famous Grouse Experience team chose to celebrate actor Ewan McGregor, famous for his roles in Star Wars and Trainspotting, with the second single malt release as he was born near the distillery, in Crieff.

“After the massive popularity of The Earl & Countess of Strathearn Cask this year, the team at the Experience thought why not celebrate some more of the famous icons that have originated from this part of Scotland?” said Lesley Williamson, business development manager at The Famous Grouse Experience at Glenturret Distillery.

“Ewan McGregor was born here in Crieff and his success is something we are delighted to honour by naming our latest Glenturret single malt cask after him.

“We hope he can come and see the cask for himself at our Bottle Your Own Experience soon. He would be most warmly welcomed.”

Every bottle sold from the Ewan McGregor Cask will see £2 donated to a charity of McGregor’s choice.

“We recently had a visitor who was so impressed with The Earl & countess of Strathearn Cask that she bought 10 bottles as Christmas presents for all her family,” added Williamson.

“She literally emptied the cask, so we are looking forward to seeing if our latest ‘Famous’ bottle will also prove to be a popular gift idea for the festive season.”
