Blossa 24: A Magical Journey to the Scottish Highlands in Every Sip
This winter, Blossa invites us to embrace the magic and mystique of Scotland with its 2024 limited-edition glögg, Blossa 24.
Inspired by the Highlands’ raw beauty, age-old legends, and the warmth of whisky, Blossa 24 promises to make your holiday gatherings unforgettable—a moment of magic to hold close in every sip.
Glögg: The Heart and Hearth of a Scandinavian Christmas
Glögg isn’t just a drink for Scandinavians; it’s a cherished ritual, a gathering of warmth, coziness, and connection. As the December days darken and snow settles in, families and friends come together for glöggmys—moments of sheer coziness and closeness shared over a glass of spiced glögg. This ritual, dating back centuries, brings a sense of magic and togetherness to every holiday season.
The tradition of glöggmingel—festive mingling with glögg and good company—fills Scandinavian homes with laughter and light. The warm flavors of spiced wine, pepparkakor, and saffron buns create the season’s most comforting moments, while stories are shared, memories are made, and hearts are warmed. Blossa understands this magic well, capturing it in each annual glögg. This year, Blossa 24 invites you to share in something deeper, a moment that’s as enchanting as it is unforgettable.
A Smoky, Magical Taste Inspired by the Scottish Highlands
Blossa 24 is more than a glögg—it’s an invitation to explore the Scottish Highlands’ mystery, magic, and timelessness. Crafted as a white starkvinsglögg with a rich, smoky character, Blossa 24 combines the warmth of classic spices with the intrigue of Scottish whisky. This whisky brings a depth to the glögg’s sweetness, while dulse seaweed adds a whisper of salt and umami—a nod to Scotland’s misty lochs and the elusive spirit of Nessie herself. It’s a drink to savor, to hold close, and to share in the kind of warmth that can only be described as pure glöggness.
As Chief Blender Åsa Orsvärn says, “Just as our Nordic tradition of glögg, whisky is an essential part of Scotland’s cultural heritage. This year’s glögg is a tribute to both traditions and the artistry behind them. We found that whisky added not just flavor, but a touch of magic that harmonized beautifully with our classic glögg spices.”
A Bottle That Breathes Magic and Mystery
Blossa 24’s bottle design makes it a true collector’s item, a token of Scottish enchantment. Its deep amber tones echo the hues of whisky and the golden sunsets of the Highlands. Illustrations of green hills, ancient castles, and grazing sheep bring Scotland’s spellbinding landscapes into view, while dulse seaweed and the shadow of Nessie pay homage to the lochs’ hidden magic. It’s a bottle filled with spirit and a whisper of mystery—something to be held, shared, and cherished through the season.
