Drambuie
Drambuie (pronounced /dræmˈbuːi/) is a sweet, golden coloured 40% ABV liqueur made from scotch whisky, honey, herbs and spices. The brand had been owned by the MacKinnon family for a hundred years but was bought by William Grant & Sons in 2014. It is produced in Broxburn, Scotland.
Etymology
The name Drambuie is derived from Scots Gaelic An Dram Buidheach and means "The Drink that Satisfies".
History
Drambuie originated in the early 18th century on the Isle of Skye. The recipe was allegedly given by Prince Charles Edward Stuart (also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie) to Captain John MacKinnon as a reward for his help during the failed 1745 Jacobite uprising.
Ingredients
Drambuie is a blend of aged Scotch whisky, heather honey, herbs and spices. The exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, known only to a few in the company.
Taste
Drambuie has a complex, sweet and spicy flavour. It can be drunk neat, on the rocks, or used as an ingredient in a mixed drink, such as a Rusty Nail.
