Overview Glayva is a premium Scotch whisky liqueur first created in Edinburgh in 1947. Made by blending aged Scotch whisky with Mediterranean spices, honey, tangerine peel and aromatic herbs, it delivers a smooth, warming profile that’s both complex and sweet. Often called “the best liqueur in the world,” Glayva means “very good” in Gaelic—and one sip explains why.
Nose Fragrant and spiced, with notes of orange zest, cinnamon, honeycomb and subtle herbs. Underneath, soft whisky warmth and vanilla sweetness.
Palate Luxuriously smooth and velvety, the palate flows with flavours of honey, clove, citrus and nutmeg. The finish is lingering and rich, with a gentle whisky heat and rounded sweetness that make it effortlessly sippable.
Serving Suggestions Delicious neat, over ice, or in coffee. Also excellent in cocktails—try it in an Old Fashioned twist or a festive winter warmer.
Food Pairing Pair with dark chocolate, sticky toffee pudding or orange-glazed desserts. Also complements strong cheeses or fruitcake.
Cellaring Best enjoyed fresh and sweet—no need to cellar. Will hold well after opening.
Interesting Fact Glayva has won more awards than any other liqueur of its kind. Its original recipe has never been changed, and it’s still blended in small batches to this day.
