In addition to the special offerings for Burns Night on Jan. 25 which my colleague Deidre Woollard has already written about comes this tantalizing one from Highland single malt distillery Tullibardine, which will guarantee stylish Burns Night celebrations in the years to come.

The distillery is offering limited edition personalized casks in either a sherry or bourbon barrel, stenciled with the owner's name, the Aberdeen Press and Journal reports. The whisky will be stored at the distillery for 10 years to mature, during which time visits are welcomed in order for a taster dram or two to be experienced. Once matured to perfection, the cask's contents will be bottled with personalized labels.

Prices start at about $1,500 per cask. A photograph of the cask, along with a certificate of authentication, will be sent out in time for Burns night. Tullibardine single malt (right) is a bit on the light side, exhibiting a fresh and floral taste with hints of vanilla and chocolate orange lacing the palate.
