Bruichladdich Burns Night Dinner at Covent Garden Hotel

Islay Spirit Honors Scottish Poet: Bruichladdich Presents a Modern Burns Night Sensory Feast

Located on Islay, the Bruichladdich distillery will host a contemporary Burns Night dinner on Friday, January 23rd, at the Covent Garden Hotel in London. This event aims to pay tribute to Scotland's national poet Robert Burns. It will be held in the private dining room of Brasserie Max, featuring a curated four-course menu paired with rare whisky tastings and live spoken word performances.

The Intersection of Tradition and Innovation

Guests will begin the evening with a Penicillin cocktail crafted from The Classic Laddie, the distillery’s signature unpeated whisky. The menu, meticulously designed by Scottish-born Executive Chef Martin Sweeney, will blend traditional Scottish culinary elements.

One highlight of the menu is the traditional Scottish national dish, Haggis (served with neeps and tatties), paired with Bruichladdich 18 Year Old unpeated single malt. For the main course, Highland venison will be paired with the distillery’s heavily peated Port Charlotte 18. For dessert, a poached rhubarb dish will be enjoyed alongside Octomore 15.2, part of the brand's super-heavily peated experimental series.

A Poetic Legacy Across Centuries

To enhance the atmosphere, award-winning Scottish poet Kevin McLean has been invited to perform live. Burns Night is a global celebration usually held on or around Robert Burns' birthday, January 25th. The core of the celebration is the Burns supper, which includes haggis, whisky, and the recitation of the poet's works.

Bruichladdich Distillery is a certified B Corporation, renowned for its commitment to social and environmental standards. This Islay-based producer has always focused on terroir, transparency, and produces three distinct single malt whisky ranges: the unpeated Bruichladdich, the heavily peated Port Charlotte, and the super-heavily peated Octomore.
