Testimonial

I made the best Christmas puddings ever using your Whiskello (a whole bottle I might add!!). Rather expensive but I gave them as gifts and everyone was blown away. Made sure there was enough for the cook in that process. Thanks for a great product and I will be ordering more for next Christmas.

Cheers,

Interesting Fact:

'Liqueur' - French, from Old French 'licour', a liquid
Quite often mis-spelled as 'Liquer'.

Castle Glen Liquers ... oops ... I mean Liqueurs.
