Glayva

Glayva's story began in the docks of Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1947. A local wine and whisky merchant, Ronald Morrison wanted to create a spirit that would warm and comfort his loyal customers during the cold Scottish winters. Blending together honey, cinnamon and spices, tangerines and blended Scotch whisky, Morrison created a liqueur so rich and smooth it was loved by everyone who tried it. In fact, when it came to naming the spirit, Morrison looked no further than the words of his warehouseman Hector. On first tasting the drink, Hector proclaimed 'Gle Mhath', which translated from Gaelic means 'Very Good'. From this, Glayva was born and since that day, neither the spirit nor the flavour has changed.
