Braveheart/Scottish Alcohol Comercial

That's the One.
Receipt handed down through the ages?

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!

Ahhh yes...saw the commercial. Just what I needed....made in my ancestor's homeland of Skye.

Used to end my day with a small glass of Drambuie over one cube of ice...sweet stuff.

The ice cube was to remind me that I was a gentleman drinker, not an alcoholic....right...

Suppose I should than the Drambuie folks for helping me finally crawl through the doors of AA.

Dang that was good stuff!

Ahhh yes, a little euphoric recall going on....

Ahhh I believe I will stop on the way home and get me some of that stuff. :rolleyes: See the comercial does work.

At least NOW I know what the heck it's called.

Like I said way above:
It is a good unsuccessful commercial, in that I remember and enjoy the commercial but have NO IDEA what brand it is for except for a small blurb at the VERY end (which I barely even noticed, much less memorized the brand name).
