Celebrate Burns Night 2016 with Laphroaig

On January 25th, one of Scotland’s greatest celebrations will be upon us: Burns Night.

Burns Night is an institution of Scottish life, dating back to 1801, which commemorates the life and poetry of one of the world’s most popular writers, Robert Burns. Traditionally celebrated with a Scottish supper featuring Haggis, Burns Night is a unique dining occasion you won’t want to miss out on.

Celebrate Burns Night 2016 with Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
