Tangerines Honey Spices
Candied Miracle Steeped in Wild Mystery
Glayva’s origins are bathed in bold experimentation.
Our story begins in Leith, Edinburgh. The year is 1947, and Ronald Morrison is a wine and whisky merchant busily concocting a tempting new liqueur for his loyal customers. His aim? To produce a tantalisingly unfamiliar and richly delicious spirit, the like of which has never been tasted before.
Surrounded by the warehouses of other merchants, it was from his neighbours that he obtained his special ingredients, many of which were considered exotic at the time. Combing Mediterranean tangerines, honey, cinnamon and rare spices from far-fling lands, he finally landed on what he determined to be the perfect blend.
The first to be offered a taste of Glayva was Ronald’s warehouseman, Hector. “Glè mhath”, he proclaimed in Gaelic, translating as “Very good”.
Over the years, Glayva has been awarded a record 15 times at the International Wine and Spirit Competition, making it simply the most glorious liqueur in the universe.
