Borders Cornet's Blend: Hawick Common Riding 512th Anniversary Whisky
Celebrating Hawick’s Heritage with Cornet’s Blend
The Borders Distillery commemorates the 512th anniversary of the Hawick Common Riding with the release of Borders Cornet'S Blend Limited Edition , a limited edition Blended Scotch Whisky. This bottling commemorates one of the oldest festivals, forged collaboratively with the Hawick Common Riding Committee and the town’s official representative, Jordan Nuttall. Bottled at 40% ABV, it captures a unique cultural spirit in liquid form.
Master Blender’s Statement
Kirsten Blackburn-Elsdon, Head of Marketing at The Borders Distillery, emphasizes:
"This launch represents more than just a whisky. It is a tribute to Hawick’s Common Riding and the people who keep this centuries-old tradition alive. By placing the Cornet at the heart of the creation process, we are capturing an authentic and personal expression of Borders culture in every bottle."
Release & Availability
Only 512 bottles of Borders Cornet'S Blend Limited Edition are available in the United Kingdom, reflecting the festival's anniversary. Priced at £40 RRP, this limited series is accessible exclusively through Spiritory.
