Drambuie 70cl

General Information

Drambuie is a classic Scottish liqueur based on whisky, honey, herbs, and spices. The name comes from the Scots-Gaelic “An Dram Buidheach,” which means “the drink that satisfies.” Drambuie has been commercially produced since the early 20th century, but the recipe is said to date back to the 18th century. With an alcohol content of 40% and a distinctive warm character, Drambuie is a favorite among whisky liqueur enthusiasts.

Flavor Profile of Drambuie

Drambuie has a deep amber color and a rich aroma of heather honey, herbs, anise, and soft malt. The taste is full, sweet-spicy, and complex: honey is central, surrounded by notes of nutmeg, saffron, citrus, and Scottish whisky. The finish is long, warming, and lightly spicy. The mouthfeel is round, oily, and velvety soft.

Fun Fact

Drambuie is said to have originated with Bonnie Prince Charlie, who supposedly entrusted the secret recipe to the MacKinnon family in the 18th century. The liqueur was later introduced to the market in Edinburgh and grew into a worldwide classic. Thanks to the combination of real whisky and natural herbs, Drambuie remains unique within its category.
