Braveheart/Scottish Alcohol Comercial

**MacWage** · 26th October 06, 07:09 PM

I saw a new comercial (several times now) and it intersplices a Braveheart-esque highlander and a modern guy running.

I was wondering if anyone had seen it and (if so) what ya'll think.

I forgot the actual brand-> signifying a good unsuccessful comercial-> one that is memorable, but not brand driven (one can't remember the brand it was for).

I have seen it and can't remember the brand either.

I don't think so.
Soda?

Actually, the receipe for Drambuie itself reportedly dates from the Jacobite era -- reportedly Prince Charles Edward Stuart himself (Bonnie Prince Charlie) gave the receipe for Drambuie to a loyal subject, John MacKinnon, as a reward for helping Charlie escape after Culloden. That's the way the legend goes, anyway.

I personally like the Indonesian drink called a "su-su": Drambuie and ice-cold milk or half-and-half. It used to be a very popular drink at the Jakarta, Indonesia Highland Games, especially with the pipers from Western Australia!
