The tour follows the launch of not only the limited edition festive Spiced Ginger Irn-Bru but also the 1901, a  special throwback version of the popular soft drink which features a recipe used from its original launch almost 120 years ago.

The new/old version has been created using a recipe from a handwritten book stored deep in the company archives for over 100 years and is described by the firm as “like nothing anyone has tasted before”.
