Any recipes floating around for this Scotish Liqueur?

Well considering this is the first time I've heard that term or brand, now a quick look says they use tangareens and honey to make that liquor :handgestures-thumbupleft:

So basically get the tangareens(sp) and shave the rind then make a tincture in some 90%

Then ferment some Honey do the strip runs and spirit run.

Now with some aged Single Malt do your blend leave it for a week or so then run it thru a pot still and "Hurry up and wait" as it ages :laughing-rolling:

So all in all pretty easy :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Homemade Glayva-Style Liqueur Recipe

This recipe focuses on the core components of citrus (tangerine/orange), spices, and honey-sweetened whiskey.

Ingredients:
500ml Scotch Whisky (a decent blended whisky works well)
3 tbsp Heather Honey (or another clear honey)
Zest of 1-2 Tangerines (or 1 orange), no white pith
1/2 cm Cinnamon Stick (or a small piece)
1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds (crushed)
1/2 Star Anise (optional, for depth)
Optional: A few drops of almond extract (or a crushed almond) to replicate the almond notes

Instructions:
Prepare the Infusion: Combine the tangerine zest, crushed fennel seeds, cinnamon, and star anise in a sealable, sterilized glass jar.
Add Whisky: Pour the 500ml of scotch over the ingredients.
Steep: Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for about 4 days, giving it a shake every day.
Strain: After 4 days, strain the mixture through a double layer of muslin or a coffee filter into a clean bottle to remove all solid particles.
Add Honey: Stir the honey into the strained whisky mixture until completely dissolved. If the honey is too thick, gently warm it first.
Age: Let the bottled liqueur rest for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld, though 1–2 weeks is better.

Tips for Success
Pith is the Enemy: When zesting the tangerines or oranges, avoid the white pith, as it adds bitterness rather than flavor.
Honey Choice: Use a clear, liquid honey to avoid sediment.
Serving: Serve on ice, or mix with soda/tonic water for a refreshing drink.
Storage: Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
