Latest prestigious listings for drinks innovators Buck & Birch
Gleneagles Town House and Johnnie Walker Experience among Edinburgh establishments impressed by wilderness foragers
Discerning drinkers at some of Edinburgh’s most prestigious establishments now have the chance to savour Buck & Birch’s uniquely curated spirits and liqueurs.
The wilderness foragers and flavour alchemists specialise in capturing the essences of the Scottish countryside, conjuring them into innovative, award-winning drinks.
Now their distinctive brand, famed for its ingredients sourced from the forests and hedgerows around their East Lothian distillery, is available in Edinburgh’s Gleneagles Town House, Virgin Hotel and the Johnnie Walker Experience amongst others.
They are the latest establishments to stock the East Lothian-based innovators’ drinks which include: Ana Birch Syrup Caramel Liqueur, a warm buttery caramel with undertones of birch syrup and toasted nuts; Birch Wild Botanical Spirit, pure spirit married with raw sap and seasoned with wild birch flavours harvested throughout the seasons; Aelder Wild Elderberry Elixir with the flavour of dark stone fruits and hints of bitter chocolate and spice; and Amarosa Rosehip Rum Liqueur, ripe with the taste of green apples, honey and herbs, spiced vanilla and molasses.
Buck & Birch Creative Director and co-founder, Tom Chisholm says he’s delighted such prominent establishments are recognising their unique take on the countryside’s natural bounty:
“We go to enormous lengths to do justice to the ingredients we use, layering the flavours to achieve the depth and texture and balance we’re looking for, but it’s a real labour of love.
“We’re so lucky, our job is an absolute joy, and to know that more and more people are sharing our enthusiasm for Scotland’s wild harvest and our products, through these latest stockists, makes what we do even more fulfilling.”
Head Bartender at Johnnie Walker Princes Street, Miran Chauhan has said: “At Johnnie Walker Princes Street, our aim is to pair our liquids with those who also share our storytelling, environmentally conscious and flavour focused ethos.
“The Buck and Birch liqueurs fit in perfectly and help drive our creativity and innovation within cocktails.”
