    The Anthem

    Scotch, Irn-Bru reduction, orange & rosemary — Scotland's other national drink, made grown-up

    For the singing that follows the team from Glasgow to Guadalajara

    The Story

    You cannot tell Scotland's story without Irn-Bru. This highball turns the country's second national drink into something a boardroom can toast with: blended Scotch lengthened with an Irn-Bru reduction, brightened with orange oil, and finished with a rosemary sprig. It's the anthem in a glass — bright, unmistakable, and impossible not to sing along to.
