GLENTURRET Distillery has announced that the latest limited edition Bottle Your Own cask is to be named after the most famous furry face in the history of the 240-year-old distillery – Towser.
An exclusive cask of limited edition bottles named after the world-record holding cat will be available at Glenturret’s Distillery shop, part of Crieff-based The Famous Grouse Experience.
Dubbed “Towser the Mouser” by thousands who visit the award-winning whisky attraction, the dedication marks 30 years since the passing of the world mousing champion.
Towser took up her post as mouser in 1963, catching 28,899 mice during her 24 years of service at Glenturret Distillery before passing away in 1987.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
