The delight of a summer harvest meets the warmth of single malt in a creamy liqueur. All three result in a suprisingly brightly tinted and satisfying drink.

The Uniqueness

Think Pink!

Now think pink in terms of single malt whisky, and your mind and tastebuds might hit a wall. Now push past the mores of old and get ready to expand your libation horizions.

Think of Scotland, and the sweet lushness of her summer strawberries mixed with a velvety cream. Imagine the nation’s pride - a series of sturdy aged single malts, coming from Speyside, swirled throughout, and the unique combination of the trinity, found in Strawberry Kiss, is clear. It is a taste whose time has come, and a perfect find for both those who enjoy exploring different avenues in whisky drinking and people who prefer a delicate approach to the delecation of a dram.

The Beginnings

“Why don’t we create our own liqueur?”

Upon uttering that question, Norman Brown, a Scottish entrepenuer, and John Smith, former head blender at Glenmorangie, combined their respective 16 and 35 years of whisky knowledge and began a close to year-long quest to create the beverage both men instinctively knew would stir up the industry.

The whisky duo met several times each week to tweak the recipe. From the outset, strawberries and whisky were the top contender. Wanting to create a drink which brought in a younger, and possibly female market, Brown and Smith enlisted the tastebuds of friends, family and finally scotch whisky experts to confirm Strawberry Kiss was a winner.

Strawberry Kiss in the Market Place

Upon its launch in 2006, the accolades began.

Among the highest was the inclusion of Strawberry Kiss as a finalist in the Whisky Liqueur category at this year's recent World of Whiskies Awards.

Currently available primarily in the UK, with The Whisky Shop as its main outlet, Strawberry Kiss is expected to shortly be found in the US, Canadian and other European markets. Future

For those searching for an adventure, with a different twist, in whisky drinking – a tickling from this pink newcomer, over ice, on its own or as a recipe base, will amuse and delight.
