Loch Lomond

Scotch and Drambuie make a natural partnership here, with dry vermouth adding crispness to cut through the honeyed richness -- Scotland in a glass.

History & Origin

Named for Loch Lomond, the largest freshwater loch in Great Britain and one of Scotland's most iconic natural landmarks, this classic cocktail pairs Scotch whisky with Drambuie -- a whisky-based liqueur flavoured with heather honey, herbs, and spices -- and dry vermouth. The result is a spirit-forward drink that showcases distinctly Scottish flavours in every sip. The exact originator of the recipe is unknown, but its combination of indigenous Scottish ingredients makes it a natural expression of the country's drinking culture.
