Perth Races and the Scottish Game Fair

Perth Races - The City of Perth Gold Cup Day 01 June 2008

The City of Perth Gold Cup day is the big family day at Perth Races. From Hawks flying through hoops, to magicians and Pipe bands. The City of Perth Gold Cup is now established as one of the biggest and perhaps the most prestigious jumping race of the summer in the UK. There is plenty of action from 11.00am onwards. The falconry displays and ferret racing in the Parade ring prior to racing are excellent. Pipe bands will interrupt your third drink but there will be plenty of time for more and a wide range of opportunities for lunch will be on offer. Fun for all the family and a great introduction if you have not been before.

Also this summer, Scone Palace hosts the Scottish Game Fair, from Friday 4^th to Sunday 6^th July 2008. Visitors come to the three-day Fair to enjoy the lively and friendly atmosphere, to learn more about their countryside, to see a huge variety of displays and demonstrations and to hunt for bargains in over 300 trade stands. Every year, Scottish Liqueur Centre has a trade stand at the Scottish Game Fair, where we will be offering members of the public free samples of all our liqueurs. Here people can try the famous Columba Cream, Bruadar and many more.

Bottling Columba Cream Liqueur at the Scottish Liqueur Centre

Bottling Columba Cream Liqueur at the Scottish Liqueur Centre

All our liqueurs are bottled on site at the Scottish Liqueur Centre in Perthshire, Scotland. Our most famous liqueur is Columba Cream, which you can see in the video above being bottled by Steve and Mike.
Our liqueur is named after St Columba, who in 564AD founded the Christian monastery on the Island of Iona, which has since been used as the burial place of Scottish Kings. Columba Cream is a quite delectable concoction based on a centuries-old family recipe for brose, a traditional Scots drink which was made daily (until the advent of refrigerators) using ingredients readily available on the crofts - whisky, oatmeal, cream, sometimes honey, sometimes fruit. While there is no official record that St Columba ever tasted our brose it is more than likely that he and his monks brewed up something similar on a regular basis.
Columba Cream is available from our online store at www.scottish-liqueur-centre.co.uk

Bruadar at The Atholl Highland Gathering

We were delighted to learn that Atholl Estates will be serving Bruadar from their marquee at The Atholl Highland Gathering this weekend. These traditional Highland Games will be held in the grounds of Blair Castle; ancestral seat of the Duke of Atholl.

Bruadar, of course, is ideally suited to the outdoor life, being Scotland’s alternative to sloe gin. Uniquely manufactured from single malt Scotch whisky, honey and sloes it is perfect for any hip flask.

Bruadar maintains strong links with Atholl Estates as the sponsor of the Bruadar Country Fair at the Blair Castle International Horse Trials which will take place on 21-24 August this year.

The original Scottish Highland Liqueur

The original Scottish Highland Liqueur. In the summer of 1995 we moved the manufacture and sales operation from the Island of Mull to our visitor centre in Bankfoot, Perthshire. The success of Columba Cream Liqueur stimulated the company into producing new, original liqueurs, ideal for today's tastes. Research and development over the period of a year led to the creation of Scottish Highland Liqueur, now rebranded as Bruadar, an amber coloured liqueur which perfectly complements Columba Cream. One of the key ingredients of Bruadar is carefully prepared sloeberries; enough to balance out the sweetness of the honey but not so many as to impart bitterness. The connoisseur will appreciate the maturation of the liqueur in the bottle. Once the bottle is opened, over a period of months the sweetness of the honey is rounded off and the taste of the sloes comes to the fore.

"Bruadar" is Gaelic for "dream" - discover the dream!

Columba Cream
