Drambuie 15, or Yellow Drink in Gaelic, is a whisky liqueur and a special edition of the well know regular Drambuie. This one is made with 15 year old whiskies, instead of the much younger ones in the regular edition. While not being the most expensive edition of Drambuie, that is, I believe, the Legacy, this is a serious step up, both in flavour and in price.

This one allows for a bit of serious sipping and tasting, because there is a lot more to explore than in the regular one. I tried a sample of this since I was hearing many good stories about it from whisky-friends and regular friends alike!

Tasting notes:
The well known sweetness is present, but the freshness is clearly a more spicy and herbal freshness. While the regular one works on mostly honey notes with some whisky added in, this one does it the other way around. I even pick up some mint. There still is honey of course, but with some black pepper and more woodiness in the mix. The juicy sweetness with a dry hint finishes it all off.

This is pretty good! I wouldn’t say I’d pick this over a regular whisky, but I can see myself drinking this with a cup of coffee as a digestive.

Although its a limited edition, it shouldn’t be too hard to find in a good liquor shop, and it’ll set you back about 45 to 50 euros. I know Drinks & Gifts had some bottles standing around. Oh, and not unimportant, the bottle is a litre.
