Drambuie Liqueur (75cl, 40%)

A Scotch whisky-based liqueur blended with honey, herbs and spices, bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is built on a base of blended Scotch whisky, approximately two-thirds grain whisky to one-third malt whisky. Many component whiskies are aged 15 to 17 years. Production is handled at a William Grant & Sons facility near Glasgow, and the herbal essence is blended in a locked room with the complete recipe kept in a safe. The aroma leads with warm honey, followed by saffron, dried orange peel and a malty Scotch backbone. The palate is silky and viscous, with golden honey, zesty orange, anise, fennel seed, nutmeg and vanilla. The finish is long and rich, with lingering saffron, honeycomb sweetness and gentle Scotch maltiness.
