As the Stirling 900 celebrations near their conclusion in March, whisky enthusiasts have one final opportunity to secure one of Stirling Distillery’s limited edition commemorative whiskies. The Stirling 900 whisky series, a collection of three unique single malts, was created to celebrate this significant milestone. Now, with only the final bottles of the Black Edition remaining, collectors and whisky lovers alike have a limited window to complete this prestigious trilogy.

A Whisky Series Steeped in History

The Stirling 900 whisky series brings together three distinct single malts, carefully selected from different whisky regions across Scotland. Each edition in the range has been chosen to reflect the quality and craftsmanship that Scotland is renowned for, while paying homage to Stirling’s rich and storied past.

The First Edition which sold out on pre-release, launched the celebrations with a nod to tradition and introduced Ritchie Collin’s unique bottle artwork of the Stirling crest, followed by the Gold Edition, which embodied the grandeur and significance of Stirling’s 900-year history. Now, the Black Edition marks the final chapter, completing the collection with a bold and distinguished finish.

Each release has been beautifully presented with bespoke packaging and intricate designs that showcase Stirling’s heritage, making the series not only a tribute to the city but also a striking collector’s item. This trilogy represents a unique commemoration of Stirling’s past and present, making it a meaningful addition to any whisky collection.

Why Stirling Distillery Created the Stirling 900 Whisky Series

Stirling Distillery launched the Stirling 900 whisky series to honour the city’s 900th anniversary as a Royal Burgh, a milestone that celebrates Stirling’s pivotal role in Scotland’s history. Recognising the deep connection between Stirling and Scotland’s whisky heritage, the distillery carefully selected three distinct single malts to mark this special occasion. Just as the city has evolved over nine centuries, these whiskies represent a journey through Scotland’s rich whisky-making tradition, offering a tangible and lasting tribute to the celebrations. With bespoke packaging inspired by Stirling’s heritage, the trilogy captures the spirit of the city’s past while creating a collectible for the future.

Celebrating the Conclusion of Stirling 900

With the Stirling 900 celebrations concluding in March, this trilogy serves as a lasting tribute to the city’s historic milestone. As part of the commemorations, distillery co-founder June McCann presented one of the bottles to the Provost’s office during the 900-hour countdown event leading up to the Stirling 900 closing ceremony. Each release in the series has been met with enthusiasm from whisky lovers and history enthusiasts alike, making this collection a unique keepsake from a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

A handful of the Stirling 900 Black Edition Highland whisky, the final release in the series, remains available for those looking to complete their collection and own a lasting tribute to this historic occasion.
