Drambuie

This Scottish liqueur is a created with a secret blend of aged Scotch whiskey, honey, herbs, and spices. Its history dates back to the 18th century when allegedly Prince Charles Edward Stuart passed down his secret recipe to Clan Mackinnon. In 1914, the secret recipe was obtained by Malcolm MacKinnon, who first registered it as a trademark and established The Drambuie Liqueur Company in Edinburgh. Drambuie, whose names derives from Scots Gaelic an dram buidheach meaning the drink that satisfies, is a full-bodied drink, characterized by its unusual combination of herbal, spicy, and sweet flavors.

It can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but it also blends well into cocktails and long drinks. The most popular is Drambuie-based cocktail is Rusty Nail—an American classic dating back to the Prohibition era.
