1980’s Glayva Scotch Liqueur 5cl

Let’s delve into the world of 1980s Glayva Scotch Liqueur. 

Glayva, a beloved Scottish liqueur, was produced by Ronald Morrison & Co. during that era. This delightful concoction combines the richness of whisky with a harmonious blend of honey, spices, almonds, and tangerines. The name “Glayva” is a phonetic representation of the Gaelic phrase “gle mhath,” which translates to “very good.” Quite fitting, isn’t it? 

Interestingly, Glayva has earned the prestigious title of “the best liqueur in the world” by winning the IWSC trophy a remarkable five times1. Imagine sipping from a bottle that boasts such accolades!

Now, let’s explore some tasting notes from a review:

Flavor Profile: Glayva is sweetened and dripping with honey, cloves, and cinnamon. It’s like a warm hug for your taste buds. When served on the rocks, it can be quite overpowering, even as the ice starts to melt and dilute it slightly.

If you happen to come across a vintage bottle of 1980s Glayva, consider it a nostalgic treasure—a testament to the artistry of Scottish liqueurs from that era.
