Edinburgh’s top restaurant group is raising a glass to a new partnership with Hirundine Whisky, the premium single malt created by Scottish rugby stars Duhan van der Merwe and Pierre Schoeman. From Tuesday 21 October, Hirundine will be available across all Vittoria Group venues, including Divino Enoteca, Vittoria On The Walk, Vittoria On The Bridge, Bertie’s Fish & Chips, Landy’s Fish & Chips, and Brunswick Book Club.
To kick off the launch, Brunswick Book Club is revealing a special pop-up cocktail list featuring bespoke serves including:
- Prop-Star Martini: Hirundine 12, passion fruit, lemon juice, caramel, egg white, prosecco
- Fast as F*boy: Hirundine, amaretto, cherry, egg white
- Two Lions and a Seagull: Hirundine 12, chocolate liqueur and vanilla
Guests can join in the celebrations with a giveaway hosted across the restaurants and Hirundine’s social channels. The prize package includes a £100 Vittoria voucher, a bottle of Hirundine 12-Year-Old Single Malt, and tickets to an Edinburgh Rugby game. Full entry details and terms will be shared online.
Pierre Schoeman, co-founder of Hirundine Whisky said: “We’re so proud to see Hirundine behind the bar at some of Edinburgh’s best-loved venues. Introducing our whisky to Vittoria Group’s guests gives us the chance to bring our story and our spirit to new audiences through a dram at the end of a meal, or as part of a great cocktail. We can’t wait to raise the first glass across Vittoria’s venues.”
Vittoria Group Director Leandro Crolla said: “This partnership brings together two things Edinburgh does brilliantly, world-class whisky and unforgettable hospitality. Hirundine has a great story and big personalities behind it, and we’re excited to bring that energy to our venues.”
