Late in 1475 a sentence of death and forfeiture was pronounced upon John, Lord of the Isles.The Earls of Atholl and Crawford were sent into the West with a fleet to enforce sentence, and the rebellious Lord took to the hills.
The Earl of Atholl discovered where the fugitive was drawing his water, and ordered that the well be filled with a mixture of whisky, honey and oatmeal, so as to beguile him into staying put while he surrounded the place. Thus Lord John was captured and thus came into being "Atholl Brose"
Dunkeld Atholl Brose is a Scothch Whisky Liqueur made to an ancient and secret recipe which contains certain herbs and uses the finest 12 year old scotch whisky resulting in a smooth, delicious liqueur.
