  • About

Some traditional recipes leave in the oatmeal, but this one – reputed to have come from the Duke of Atholl himself – uses only the strained liquid from steeping the oatmeal in water.

Ingredients

  • 175 g (6 oz) medium oatmeal
  • 400 ml (14

Method

Making

Put the oatmeal into a bowl and add the water. Leave for about an hour. Put into a fine sieve and press all the liquid through (use the remaining oatmeal for putting into bread/bannocks or making porridge). Add honey to the sieved liquid and mix well. Pour into a large bottle and fill up with the whisky. Shake well before use.
