Whisky Club Luxembourg (LBV) is holding a Burns Night 2025 on Friday 31 January 2025 from 18:30 to midnight at Lycée Bel-Val (100 avenue du Blues, L-4368 Esch-Belvaux).

Burns Night is traditionally held on 25 January, Robert Burns' birthday; the Scots chose this day to celebrate the most famous of all Scottish poets. 

One special thing about these LBV events is that they always include a strong social side. Thus, the proceeds of the evening are for the social fund of the friends of Lycée Bel-Val, who in this way also enable the socially weak students to participate in a skiing class. As a new second component, the catering will be managed this time by the restaurant Madame Witzeg which, through the professional integration of people with Down Syndrome (trisomy 21), proves how much talent they have. 

Those attending will get Herman's world-famous haggis (he makes it with fresh ingredients before the event and one can also order individual portions vacuum-packed to take home), Carmen's fish and all the other products that go so well with Burns. It is arranged, prepared and served at the buffet by Madame Witzeg's staff. 

Menu:

- Aperitif: Different craft beers and hot cider (other drinks are available), followed by
- a 5-course Burns supper inspired menu (served in buffet form)
- Cock-a-leekie (a broth with leek and chicken)
- smoked fish variation
- Haggis, neeps and tatties (a vegetarian nut roast is available as an option, please confirm when reserving)
- cheese plate
- cranachan

An open whisky bar will be available throughout the evening to allow attendees to make a lot of new discoveries. One may taste as many whiskies as one likes.

The cultural part of the evening will feature pipers, music by Kiko Menichetti (a Luxembourg Song Contest finalist) and traditional Burns Night poetry presented by Gérard Kraus, countered by the Lassies.
