"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 1746, 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 a Liqueur which soon gained the post of honour on the tables of Highland Aristocracy, and is now known world-wide.
