Glayva is a whisky-based liqueur, first created by the Edinburgh based whisky merchant, Ronald Morrison, in
1947. The exact details of the recipe remain a closely guarded secret but it is a combination of single malt
whisky, tangerines, honey, cinnamon and exotic spices. The name is derived from the Gaelic phrase 'Glè Mhath',
which translates as 'very good'. The brand is currently owned by whisky giant Whyte & Mackay, and is a multi
award winner.
