How about 9120 drams – all in one bottle – that’s over 60 gallons!
The bottle stands 5’5″ tall and is filled with Famous Grouse whisky. Bottle after bottle was poured in by hand, taking more than three hours to fill! Fomous Grouse is now in the Guinness Book of World Records for the biggest bottle of whisky. It was part of their 107 anniversary celebration. The bottle will be on permanent display at the Glenturret Distillery in Crieff.
It would have gone well with the world’s largest haggis, made in Mauchline, Ayrshire. The haggis weighed in at about 1200 pounds. The big challenge was cooking it and lifting it without splitting the skin!
The whisky will be kept, but the haggis was addressed and eaten on Bleaching Green in Mauchline – where Burns met Jean Armour.
