BRANDS - The Cock O' the North
Cock O' the North Single Malt Whisky Liqueur is Scotland's
finest liqueur made with Single Malt and the fruit of blaeberry
following a recipe known only to the Marquis of Huntly and
his son, The Earl of Aboyne. The result is just as sensuously
delicious today as it was generations ago, whether drunk
straight, as a hot toddy, or poured over ice.
As Lord Huntly says: "When it comes to whisky liqueurs there's none can compare..."
According to family legends, the Gordons used to make a drink based on whisky and blaeberry together with other special ingredients, to sustain them on long journeys, in battle and to welcome guests to their Highland homes. Cock o' the North Single Malt Whisky Liqueur is the successor to this drink.
The distillery is outside Kingussie on the upper reaches of the River Spey in the heart of Whisky Country. Using traditional methods it produces a Single Malt Whisky of exceptional quality which is then used as the main ingredient for the Liqueur. The Marquis of Huntly also holds the titles of Lord Glenlivet and Lord Strathavon, named after the two famous glens in the heart of Speyside's famous whisky country, which used to be part of the Gordon Estates. This new drink continues the long tradition of Gordon involvement in Scotch whisky distilling. Today, the whisky is made on the tranquil and secluded banks of the River Tromie, in a way that would have been better recognized by the distillers of the pre-industrial age. The stills are among the smallest in Scotland, there are not even warehouses…just ageless mountains keeping their silent vigil.
As we say in Scotland:
"From the Tweed to the Tay, from Cape Wrath to the Forth, there's none can compare with the Cock o' the North!"
