Fall under the spell of the Scots botanists’ alluring spirits imbued with the romance of the wilds
Resistance is futile when it comes to the romance of the wilds and foragers but Buck & Birch have it bottled.
For lovers looking for a potion to impress an amour this Valentine’s Day, the way to their heart could be any one of the award-winning liqueurs and spirits from the alchemists who put flavour first and season with spirit and turn the glorious fruits of our land and hedgerows into nectar.
Buck & Birch distil the very nature of the wild to produce a range of seductive tipples to drink neat, long or mixed – Aelder Elixir anyone? A gently warming wild elderberry liqueur best experienced reclining by a roaring fire.
Kick off the evening with a refreshing signature aperitif- The Wild Rose Spritz. Just pour 50ml Amarosa over ice and top with pink champagne or fizz for the most sparkling start to any date night.
Or a ready-mixed Thornstar Martini cocktail combining Amarosa rosehip rum liqueur, woodruff vodka, hawthorn syrup and sea buckthorn.
Then finish off the perfect romantic dinner with Ana, a birch syrup caramel liqueur for lovers of all things sweet.
If you just want to cut to the chase, combining food and drink in the perfect pairing, look no further than Rum & Cake, a wild spiced sipping rum infused with hogseed parkin and laced with molasses and Scottish spice, guaranteed to warm the cockles of any heart on a cold February night.
If dinner and drinks feel too predictable, give them a date to remember with a Distillery Tasting Session, meet the makers of Buck and Birch’s enticing range of spirits and liqueurs, sample the range with delicious wild snacks and learn all about the company, methods and ingredients because smart is sexy, right?
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, so they say – if meeting up in person is a challenge this year share the love with a gift and embrace your wild side with an Adventurer Cocktail Pack, a Wild Liqueur Taster Pack or a Wild Distillery Tasting Session voucher.
Buck & Birch Creative Director and co-founder, Tom Chisholm says: “There’s no better time to enjoy a taste of the romance of the Scottish countryside than Valentine’s Day.
“These are some of the most intriguing flavours, distilled with real passion. What better way to celebrate this feast day than with a message of love in a bottle?”
