Label reads: "Cuimhnich an tabhartas prionnsa. Remember the gift of the prince. Drambuie. A name contracted from the Scottish Gaelic : Dram Buidheach meaning "The drink that satisfies". A link with the'45. The origin of Drambuie forms a direct link with one of the most romnantic episodes in the history of Great Britain. When Prince Charlie came to Scotland in 1745 to make his gallant but unsuccessful attempt to regain the throne of his ancestors, he presented the recipe of his personal liqueur to a Mackinnon of Skye as a reward for his services. The secret of its preparation has ever since remained with the Mackinnon family, and the manufacture has been carried on by successive generations to this day. Drambuie is a pleasing liqueur, unique in its flavour, and highly esteemed for its exquisite delicacy of bouquet. Produce of Scotland. The Drambuie Liqueur Co. Ltd. Edinburgh."
