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 nids to digestion produced a Liqueur which soon gained the post of honour on the tables of Highland Aristocracy, and is now known world-wide.
