British Airways Celebrates the 100th Anniversary with its Own Style

Although British Airways was founded in 1974, its history dates back to its first flew to Paris in 1919. British Airways, a brand that has developed itself for the last 100 years from its first flight up to this day, celebrates its history in a different way. On May 18, World Whisky Day, British Airways and InchDairnie have come together to make an agreement for creating a limited-edition whiskey.

After the maturing process that will take 12 years, this special production whiskey will be decanted into 300 limited-edition bottles. This unique whiskey, which is planned to be ready to taste in 2031, will symbolize how patience and hard work lead a company to success.

Each cask of whiskey, which will be aged in 12 special casks prepared for British Airways, will offer distinct flavors. This limited-edition whiskey will take its dark color from the bespoke American oak casks. Special vanilla and coconut flavours will be one of the most distinctive features of the centenary whiskey.
