All of our liqueurs are hand-made to our own family recipes, some of which have been in the family for generations. Only the finest quality ingredients are used, from the painstakingly selected malt whisky, the cream, honey and fruit to the soft Perthshire water in which we carefully blend our liqueurs. We also bottle our own-label single malt whiskies. Our Visitor Centre is a light and airy place where you may wander at will amongst local crafts and artwork; from jewellery to leatherwork; from ceramics to hand-made greetings cards; from chocolates to locally roasted coffees. There are items to suit every pocket, and you may taste our liqueurs and whiskies as you look. Not just for a rainy day!
