Stag's Breath Liqueur comes from the small Speyside village of Newtonmore, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. This liqueur is a perfect balance. The warm heat of malt whisky is tempered by an earthy, tangy sweetness brought by the fermented comb honey. This fermentation process has prevented a cloying, syrupy drink, and flavour has come alive.
Stag’s Breath Liqueur is light yet complex. Delicate, earthy sweetness elegantly balances with the whisky notes, creating a contemporary yet classic nose. Lighter in both calorie count and alcohol content than other honey liqueurs, Stag’s Breath is the ideal sipping strength.
For over 30 years, Meikles of Scotland, a small family firm, have crafted this liqueur in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. From their home in Newtonmore, founders Yvonne and Les look out over the most majestic scenery the Scottish Highlands has to offer. They had the idea to capture this breathtaking beauty and bottle it.
They managed to find the perfect balance of sweetness and warmth. The fermentation of the honey adds an elegant complexity. It seems to mirror the landscape – beautiful and soul affirming, but with that brooding hint of wildness that’s always present in the Highlands.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
