A distillery has announced the release of the second limited-edition Scotch whisky in its commemorative series created to “honour” the city’s 900-year heritage.
And it has revealed plans for a third release in the series.
Stirling Distillery declared its Stirling 900 Gold Edition whisky, the second release in the series and limited to 180 bottles, “is set to captivate whisky enthusiasts and collectors with its unique character and deep-rooted connection to the city’s legacy”.

This exclusive release provides a bold yet smooth profile, with flavours and aromas designed to echo the rich tapestry of Stirling’s centuries-old story.”

Cameron McCann, co-founder of Stirling Distillery, said: "The Gold Edition builds on our initial Stirling 900 release, celebrating the city we call home. It’s crafted to offer whisky lovers a taste of Stirling’s remarkable past with a contemporary edge. Each bottle represents our dedication to honouring Stirling’s heritage while delivering an exceptional tasting experience.”
The distillery said: “The Stirling 900 Gold Edition is available exclusively at Stirling Distillery’s shop and online store. With only 180 bottles available and proving popular with their cask-club members and those on the pre-sale waiting list, whisky collectors and enthusiasts are encouraged to secure this special release before it sells out.”
And Stirling Distillery trailed the third release in the commemorative series, available in January.
The distillery said: “This highly limited release precedes the final instalment in the Stirling 900 series, the Black Edition, a third and unique single malt whisky that will be available for Burns Night in January 2025. Together, these editions encapsulate Stirling’s proud history through distinct flavour profiles, creating a collection of rare, high-quality single malts that embody the spirit of Scotland.”
