PRINCE CHARLIE'S LIQUEUR.
The origin of "DRAMBUIE” and the basis of its production, give it a character distinct from other Liqueurs.
Brought to Scotland by a follower of Prince Charlie in 1745, the recipe was given to a MacKinnon of Skye, " and the secret has ever since remained in one family. The MacKinnon of that day employed the materials which were available, and in place of Brandy a fine old Whisky was used. This, along with heather honey and herbal ingredients of recognised value as aids to digestion produced Liqueur which soon gained the post of honour on the tables of Highland Aristocracy, and is now known world-wide.
