Darts sensation Luke Littler marked his milestone 18th birthday on Tuesday with a special delivery from Au Vodka, featuring a personalised golden dart and an exclusive three-litre bottle.
The newly-crowned world champion received the bespoke birthday gift from Au Vodka sales director Tom Smith, who personally delivered the celebratory package.
The unique present arrives as Littler can now legally purchase alcohol, adding another memorable moment to his remarkable rise in professional darts.
The custom-made golden dart prominently displays Littler’s nickname ‘The Nuke’ on its flight, marking a distinctive tribute to the teenage champion.

The commemorative vodka bottle features an image of Littler hoisting the Sid Waddell Trophy, capturing his historic world championship victory.
The exclusive gift adds to what was undoubtedly a day of numerous presents for the young darts star, who has rapidly become one of the sport’s most recognisable figures.
Au Vodka, the company behind Littler’s birthday gift, is a Swansea-based business valued at £150m, founded by Charlie Morgan and Jackson Quinn in 2015.
Morgan gained earlier controversy as the ballboy involved in a 2013 incident with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, who was sent off for appearing to kick him during a match against Swansea City.
Morgan’s dad, Martin, is a director of Swansea City and owns the city’s four-star Morgan’s Hotel.

The boyhood United fan presented the Sid Waddell Trophy at half-time, with his appearance rescheduled from pre-match due to tributes to club legend Denis Law.
Speaking to MUTV before the game, Littler said: “It means the world to bring the trophy pitchside at the club I’ve supported all my life.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity.”

Littler is set to return to competitive action at the 2025 Dutch Darts Masters, which begins on January 24.
The tournament follows his recent quarter-final exit at the Bahrain Darts Masters, where he was unable to defend his title against eventual winner Stephen Bunting.
The teenage sensation enters the Dutch competition having already accumulated impressive career earnings of over £1.5million, largely thanks to his 7-3 victory over Michael van Gerwen in the world championship final.
