January Still Jolly
Celebrating Burns Night.
A second chance to sing “Auld Lang Syne,” to indulge in fine whisky and to take comfort in one another’s company during the cold months: Burns Night is upon us. January brings with it not only healthy, positive self-denial, but also this great celebration of Scots poetry in the figure of Robert Burns. Whether you’re planning to celebrate at home or searching for the ideal night out, we’ve got you covered. Whisky and poetry — what’s not to love?
The Libertine invites you to toast Robert Burns with a menu of food and drink celebrating the best of Scotland. Available Monday 19–Sunday 25 January, our award-winning den of revelry is the place to mark Burns Night. Enjoy curated whisky flights and bespoke cocktails — like the Lagavulin-led Islay Daiquiri — alongside hearty mains, from Scottish wild venison haunch to baked halibut and vegan haggis cottage pie.
Burns Night is one of Fortnum’s favourite dates in the calendar, and this year the brand invites you to take a grand tour of Scotland’s three most celebrated whisky regions. Distilled and bottled in Scotland, the collection showcases an expressive five-year Islay single malt, a fresh eight-year Speyside, and a rich, malty eight-year Highland single malt from Blair Athol Distillery.
And now something to wear. From Aspinal of London comes this gorgeous tartan piece: “as traditionally stylish as it is beautifully made, our Premium Merino Wool Oversized Scarf in House of Aspinal Tartan is a perfect choice for the colder seasons,” the brand explains. Crafted from 100% virgin merino wool, the accessory is handwoven in Como, Italy, featuring a bespoke tartan inspired by brand chairman Iain Burton’s personal collection.
