A Scotch whisky that was specifically chosen by the late rugby legend Doddie Weir is set to be released to raise funds for charity.
Highland Single Malt AD/06:17, distilled and bottled by Ardnamurchan Distillery, will be available to purchase starting April 19. All profits will be donated to the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, which funds research to find effective treatments to motor neurone disease (MND).
The whisky was chosen from a single ex-Oloroso Sherry cask on June 9, 2017 by Weir. The 61-cap Scotland international visited the distillery in Glenbeg to select the final cask shortly before he died on November 26, 2022 after living with MND for almost six years.
