Yesterday was the 150th anniversary of Sleeper Trains between London and Edinburgh.
To celebrate they currently have a special limited edition whisky. I quote from their website-
Handpicked at Annandale Distillery (Est.1836), our unique 8-year-old lowland malt started life in February 2015. Matured in an American oak ex-bourbon cask, our whisky offers hints of creamy sweet toffee combined with the crisp flavours of ripe Granny Smith apples and Conference pears.
This limited-edition single malt whisky (ABV 50%) is available to buy onboard in 5cl bottles complete with exclusive labelling – yours to enjoy onboard or take away as a souvenir.

We also have a very limited run of 200 bottles available for sale. Profits from the sale of the 70cl whisky bottles will be donated to Railway Children, the international charity working with street children in India, East Africa and the UK. One of the 200 bottles will also be donated to Give a Dog a Bone, the Scottish loneliness and animal charity, to be auctioned later in the year as part of fundraising efforts.
The Annandale distillery is near Annan, not far from the English Border, just off the M74, and does distillery visits.
