Buzzworks has announced a new venture with whisky company Against The Grain, founded by Scottish rugby stars Duhan van Der Merwe and Pierre Schoeman.
The partnership brings Against The Grain’s 12-year-old Speyside single malt, Hirundine, to each of Buzzworks 21 venues across Scotland as Scotland’s Six Nations campaign got underway with a 31-19 victory against Italy last weekend.
Pierre Schoeman, said, “We’re thrilled to blend our passion for rugby and whisky, creating a unique experience that celebrates Scottish heritage.
“Our partnership with Buzzworks and Against The Grain exemplifies our commitment to excellence and innovation, offering fans and guests a taste of Scotland that’s as rich as our game.”
Duhan van Der Merwe, added, “Teaming up with Buzzworks and Against The Grain is a dream come true, combining my love for rugby and fine whisky.
“This partnership not only showcases the spirit of Scotland but also brings our fans and patrons together to celebrate our culture.
“We can’t wait for everyone to enjoy Hirundine and experience the excitement of the Six Nations with us!”
David Howie, Company Bar Manager at Buzzworks said, “Hirundine is a fantastic addition to our whisky collection and reflects our dedication to bringing our guests some of the most exciting and memorable food and drink experiences.
“Working with Duhan and Pierre, who share our passion for excellence and innovation, has been an absolute privilege so far, and we’re excited for our customers to enjoy this outstanding tipple at Buzzworks venues.
“We have lots of exciting plans up our sleeve with Against The Grain, which we can’t wait to share more details about in the coming months.”
