WHAT'S THE HISTORY OF Heart of Scotland Toddy?
For hundreds of years, people had been mixing rough, substandard whisky with ingredients like lemon, honey and spices to make it more palatable. But by the late 19th Century Scotch whisky was of a higher quality thanks to distilleries like Aberfeldy. Heart of Scotland Toddy had become quite sophisticated by this time as old cocktail books testify, with entire sections devoted to toddy recipes.
Nowadays the steaming Heart of Scotland Toddy is an iconic whisky serve, perfect for those cosy winter nights.

WHY DOES HONEY MATTER?
We believe in using only the best ingredient available. Just like whisky, the source of honey matters. It has provenance, terroir, it can change from hive to hive, and so it can be an exciting ingredient to experiment with, especially in whisky serves.
It’s best to choose local, pure honey that has no additives like sugar, corn syrup, or water added for making the best Heart of Scotland Toddy possible.
