Rugby fans toast late Doddie Weir as rare whisky selected by legend is released

Rugby fans the world over will be toasting the late Doddie Weir with a rare whisky, selected by the Scotland rugby legend, which will raise funds for the charitable organisation in his name.

The Highland Single Malt, AD/06:17 – distilled and bottled by Ardnamurchan Distillery – was chosen from a single ex-Oloroso Sherry cask on June 9, 2017 for Doddie, who passed away at the age of 52 in November last year after almost six years living with motor neuron disease (MND).

The month before he died, the 61-cap Scotland international was accompanied by friends and fellow rugby legends on a visit to Ardnamurchan Distillery in Glenbeg.
