FULL SUGAR Irn Bru is back, and you can get it in this Strathaven supermarket

After nearly two years of the new Irn Bru recipe, fans can now enjoy the retro taste once again.

Barrs will be selling glass bottles of old recipe Irn Bru called Irn Bru 1901. The taste is said to be same as when it was first made over 100 years ago.

And Sainsbury's in Strathaven have stacked their shelves to make sure fans of the soft drink can all enjoy the taste.

A 750ml glass bottle of the ginger drink is £2 from the supermarket.

Other Sainsbury's stores also seem to have the drink in stock as well as Lidl stores across Scotland.

Lidl put a post on Facebook last month stating that in their store a bottle would cost £1.76.

The drink is on par with Coca-Cola in terms of sugar level.

Robin Barr, who unearthed the recipe from years ago, said: "“The 1901 recipe has aged beautifully over the last 118 years.

“For a limited time, we’ll be producing a premium ‘old and unimproved’ Irn-Bru 1901 just as it was enjoyed by our first fans.

“This is Irn Bru as you’ve never tasted it. It’s a chance to enjoy a unique and authentic piece of Scottish history - but don’t hang about, we don’t think it will be around for long.”

What do you think of the 'new' taste?
