Glasgow-based whisky specialists have teamed up with Rangers FC to launch a series of limited-edition drams for 2023.
The Ibrox club, who have partnered with Douglas Laing & Co, said the Scotch Whisky 2023 Trilogy Series will celebrate the return of the domestic season after a packed World Cup and will give fans the chance to toast new manager Mick Beale.
The trilogy of special releases comprises of two Malts and one Single Grain and is strictly limited to no more than 2,300 bottles of each, with the label of each displaying one of the easily recognisable Rangers colours – red, white and blue.
Speaking about the launch, the Douglas Laing & Co team explained that there are three distinct flavour profiles on offer, taking fans on a "regional journey" across Scotland.

First up, the 'Sweet One', made using whisky from the Speyside region, is said to bring “juicy barley, honeycomb and dark fruits” while the 'Smoky One', a marriage of Islay Malts, brings “an oceanic quality balanced with a sweet, earthy style”.
Finally, the 'Fruity One' is a Lowland Single Grain bursting with “vanilla’d oak, creamy cereals and a moreish tropical fruit depth”.
Alongside the Trilogy, Douglas Laing & Co has released a finely knitted, limited-edition Ranger’s scarf which can be placed around the bottleneck.
Priced at a very reasonable £40 per bottle, each of the releases has no added colouring or chill-filtration and comes with an abv of 46%. They can be purchased directly from the Douglas Laing & Co website.
A spokesperson for the Hillington-based family-run whisky bottlers said: “This unique series marries together two of lives greatest pleasures – football and Scotch Whisky.
"With each bottle offering completely different flavour notes, the series allows consumers to journey to some of the most iconic distilling regions in Scotland. Packaged in a sleek black gift box, these drams are the ultimate gift for all Rangers and Whisky lovers this festive season.”
