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
