Product details

Drambuie is a whisky liqueur. A blend of aged Scotch whisky, spices, herbs & heather honey. Its origins can be traced to a secret recipe created for Bonnie Prince Charlie by his Royal Apothecary in the 18th Century. The name Drambuie is derived from Scots Gaelic ‘An Dram Buidheach’ and means “The Drink that Satisfies”.

Tasting notes

The flavour provides a kaleidoscopic taste sensation, a complex arrangement of herbal, spicy, sweet and honey notes. It's voluptuous, mellifluous and full bodied.

STORY OF DRAMBUIE

A hundred or so years after the Battle of Culloden a man called John Ross, the hotelier of the Broadford Hotel on Skye, persuaded the MacKinnon’s to let him make up a batch of their family liqueur. It seemed to have been appreciated amongst the Skye locals and a story is told of two of the regulars to the inn sampling the liqueur and declaring it to be an dram buidheach - 'the drink that satisfies.' John’s son, James Ross, registered a patent for the name Drambuie in 1893. Later his widow Eleanor moved with the recipe to Edinburgh where in 1909 she worked with Malcolm MacKinnon, a whisky wholesaler, and started producing Drambuie in Edinburgh. Malcolm and Eleanor created the Drambuie Liquor Company Ltd in 1914 and so begin ambitious plans for export. Drambuie survives through the World Wars and Prohibition in the United States.
