One of the most famous liquors synonymous with Bonnie Prince is Drambuie, a whisky based liquor claiming its beginnings during the Jacobite uprising and connected directly to the Young Contender.

The legend says, that during his famous escape to the Isle of Skye, Charles Stuart shared the recipe for Drambuie with the MacKinnon family, in return for their support during the rebellion.
