| THE SCOTS Maker Raises A Dram For International Women's Day With New Scottish Whisky |
| 2021-09-05 |
The Makar’s Malt is a limited edition single cask single malt Scotch Whisky marking the end of celebrated Scottish poet Jackie Kay’s tenure as The Scots Makar/National Poet of Scotland. Following a tender process arranged by the Scotch Whisky Association, Isle of Raasay Distillery in the Inner Hebrides was selected by the Makar to create and bottle the commemorative single malt. The distillery worked closely with the Makar to choose a special single cask bottling, and a poem written by Jackie Kay ’Here’s Tae Ye!’ will feature on the bottle’s label. Here’s Tae Ye I raise my glass, my dear, Wherever you now are, North, south, east or west Under the nearest or furthest star Slàinte! There’s love in this wee dram, In the purest form To greet you my fiere, my jo, Nippy, heathery, warm. Slàinte! ~ Jackie Kay, 2021 |
