Rusty Nail by Drambrue: A Classic Cocktail, Reimagined

Drambuie, a legendary whisky liqueur, embodies the perfect harmony of aged Scotch whisky, aromatic spices, herbs, and heather honey. Its story dates back to the 18th century, crafted as a secret recipe for Bonnie Prince Charlie by his Royal Apothecary. The name itself, derived from Scots Gaelic, means "The Drink that Satisfies," and it lives up to this promise with every sip.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Subtle yet rich aromas of honey captivate the senses.

• Palate: A delicate herbal opening evolves into a gentle spice, creating a balanced and soothing mouthfeel.

• Finish: Short yet memorable, with hints of heather and a warm, slightly medicinal touch.
