Atholl Brose Recipe - Whisky Oatmeal Cream Honey Egg Drink
The history of the Scottish drink Atholl Brose
It is not known for how long Scottish folk have been drinking Atholl Brose but the earliest recorded recipe dates back to 1475. Prior to this Atholl Brose recipes were handed down from generation to generation as each person was taught to make this delicious drink.
Origins of Atholl Brose
The drink is so sweet and tasty that legend has it that it led to the capture of renegade Iain MacDonald the Lord of the Isles who was leading a rebellion against the King. He was caught supping at a well that had been filled with whisky, oatmeal and honey at the order of the Earl of Atholl who knew that MacDonald drank regularly from the small well. The Duke’s recipe was the downfall of Iain MacDonald who stayed to enjoy the drink and was captured by this cunning trap. Since then Atholl Brose has been enjoyed by many a Scot since.
Other stories of the origins of Atholl Brose give the name of the Lord as Lord John who was the last Lord of the Isles and was under sentence of death but had escaped and fled to the hills. It is said it was he who could not resist the drink at the well and stayed drinking it rather than fleeing the Earls of Atholl and Crawford.
It is possible to buy Atholl Brose in bottles from whisky liqueur sellers and off licences. Most distillers use single malt whisky to give a richer tasting liqueur. Others have secret recipes and use secret herbs to give unique flavours.
The book Scots Cooking: The Best Traditional and Contemporary Scottish Recipes by Sue Lawrence has a recipe for Atholl Brose pudding for those who do not like to drink whisky.
Atholl Brose can be drunk on its own and can also be enjoyed with various other drinks and accompaniments such as with crushed ice, with mixers like coca cola, soda, ginger beer, lemonade or with cream floated on top.
The recipe for Atholl Brose below can be drunk straight away but it does taste better when left to mature for a week.
Maw Broon from the Sunday Post has published a cookbook full of her favourite Scottish and family recipes. Read More About It!
Atholl Brose is often made specially at Hogmanay and makes a welcome drink and dessert treat. It is very sweet so should only be served in small drams to see in the New Year.

Athole Brose
Atholl Brose is sometimes spelt as Athole Brose. For example in the Maw Broon's Cookbook For Busy Day and Special Days by the Sunday Post there is an Atholl Brose recipe in the inside front cover. This is spelt as Athole Brose. This Maw Broon Athole Brose recipe differs slightly from the Scottishrecipes recipe and suggests adding Scottish raspberries. The Athole Brose recipe was originally sourced from Housewife Weekly as part of their cut out and keep Scottish Recipes number 8.

It is also spelt as Athole Brose in the book The Scots Kitchen by F. Marian McNeill. Her recipe has heather honey, whisky and cold water as the only ingredients and cites a reference to Athole Brose in The Heart of Midlothian by Sir Walter Scott. The Scots Kitchen has a brief history of Athole Brose which includes its use as a cure for the cold and that sometimes a beaten egg yolk is added to the mixture. It also describes how two subalterns and a piper carry Athole Brose into the sergeants mess of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders on Hogmanay where it is served in a quaich to each officer and sergeantAtholl brose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Atholl Brose (or Athol Brose, Athole Brose) is a Scottish drink obtained by mixing oatmeal brose, honey, whisky, and sometimes cream (particularly on festive occasions). When made with cream the drink is rather like Baileys Irish Cream. Atholl Brose has also become an alternative name for the dessert Cranachan, which uses similar ingredients.
According to legend, the drink is named after the 1st Earl of Atholl, who quashed a Highland rebellion in 1475 by filling the rebel leader's well with the mixture, making him easily captured.
[edit] Recipe
Simon (1948), in a recipe attributed to the Royal Scots Fusiliers, gives the following proportions, to be mixed, as is the tradition, "with a silver spoon if available":
• 7 parts oatmeal brose
• 7 parts whisky
• 5 parts cream
• 1 part honey
The brose is prepared by steeping a volume of oatmeal overnight in three times as much cold water, then straining the liquid through muslin (discarding the oatmeal).

John Stewart, 1st Earl of Atholl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Stewart, 1st Earl of Atholl (c. 1440 – 19 September 1512), also known as Sir John Stewart of Balveny, was a Scottish nobleman and ambassador to England (in 1484).

Life
He was the oldest child of Joan Beaufort, widowed Queen of James I of Scotland, and her second husband Sir James Stewart, the Black Knight of Lorn.
He was created Earl of Atholl in around 1457, the first Earl of the eighth creation of the title. He is believed to have had a hand in suppressing the rebellion of John Macdonald, 11th Earl of Ross, the last of the Lords of the Isles. According to legend, the Earl of Atholl had whisky, honey and oats added to Macdonald's water well, which so entranced or intoxicated him that Macdonald was easily captured. The mixture became a drink named Atholl Brose.
Stewart was buried in Dunkeld Cathedral in Perthshire.
Marriage and children
John Stewart married twice and had several children. However, the exact number, names and the attribution of his children to their mothers is unclear.
