PRINCE GHARLIE'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 8 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 Brafidy 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 of the tables of Highland' Aristocracy, and is now known World-wide.
