Description

Drambuie is a whisky liqueur. A blend of aged Scotch whisky, infused with heather honey, aromatic herbs & spices. It is the oldest British whisky liqueur brand and it’s origins can be traced to a secret recipe created for Bonnie Prince Charlie by his Royal Apothecary in the 18th Century. The legend goes that after the Battle of Culloden, he gave the elixir to a Scottish clan on the Isle of Skye in gratitude for their hospitality as he awaited safe passage back home. The name Drambuie is derived from Scots Gaelic ‘An Dram Buidheach’ and means “The Drink that Satisfies”. This bottle from the  1960s, is from the days when it was much more influenced by its Talisker component.
