Rusty Robert Burns

This cocktail brings something even more special to Sheridan’s original recipe by using Drambuie 15 – a connoisseur’s expression of Drambuie that balances the secret Drambuie elixir with the finest 15 Year Old Speyside malts. In the Rusty Robert Burns, Absinthe and Maraschino marry perfectly with the soft Speyside malt character of Drambuie 15 to create an extraordinarily experimental cocktail in honour of Scotland’s favourite bard.
