A new global celebration is being introduced in honour of Scotland’s gift to the world - International Scotch Day. The inaugural celebration will take place tomorrow, Friday February 10th and invites you to raise a glass of Scotch and celebrate a drink that’s made to be enjoyed with good company, wherever, whenever.

To mark the occasion Diageo is opening the doors to its 12 distillery visitor centres across Scotland and International Scotch Day will also be marked by the first ever public open-day at the Diageo Archive located in Menstrie, Scotland.

There will also be official International Scotch Day celebrations are taking place all over the world, and fronting the proceedings is world-renowned supermodel, Coco Rocha and award-winning actress, Freida Pinto. Those of you in or around London will find a selection of London’s best bars will be joining in the celebrations by offering with limited-edition Scotch whisky cocktails.

If I had known about this sooner I would have been interested in visiting the Diageo Archive in Menstrie I am sure they have a few things worth seeing.

I visited the "old" archive a few years back, it was really interesting to see all the old JW bottles etc.
I only stay about 5 miles away and was disappointed that I only heard about this being open late last night, so emailed them and it was fully booked.

Diageo let me know about the International Scotch Day a week ago but I didn't have the details on how to book for the Menstrie archive so I held off from posting, I wish I had chased it up now as a few of you have got back to me saying you were too late to get a place, there would have been limited places.

Anyway enjoy International Scotch Day and if you are on twitter give Scotland's finest drink a plug today with #LoveScotch #InternationalScotchDay and my twitter name is @ScotMaltWhisky if you want to give me a follow as I usually post links to any new whisky news on there.
