Premium single malt whisky liqueur, Bruadar, recently partnered with a trio of Scottish bars to mark World Bee Day.

Throughout May, Kelvingrove Café in Glasgow, Montpeliers and The Voyage of Buck in Edinburgh served up bespoke cocktails featuring honey harvested from the hives at Aberargie Distillery, where Bruadar is made.

The limited edition serves included a fiery ‘The Hot Honey’ at Kelvingrove Café, a refreshing ‘Pineapple Swizzle’ at The Voyage of Buck and a smoky-sweet crowd-pleaser ‘Bee-yond the Smoke’ at Montpelier’s.

As well as championing Scottish craft spirits, the objective was to raise awareness of local bee ecosystems and the importance of pollinators in sustainable production.

Located just outside Perth, Aberargie Distillery is a haven for bees, surrounded by fields of wildflowers with 12 resident hives, all cared for by Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers.

The company’s Lauren Doherty said: “We’re incredibly proud of our bees and the role they play in the production of Bruadar. This collaboration was a brilliant way to share our story while highlighting the essential work of pollinators not just for whisky, but for biodiversity as a whole
