Drambuie

Honeyed whisky liqueur

Drambuie is a Scottish liqueur made from Scotch whisky, honey, herbs, and spices.

The name comes from Scottish Gaelic meaning "the drink that satisfies." It has a sweet, honeyed flavor with herbal notes and is typically served neat, on ice, or in cocktails—most famously the Rusty Nail, made with Scotch and Drambuie.
