German whiskymakers Vame have created Bohemian Schnapsidee — a limited-edition Scotch whisky finished in Irn Bru.

Dubbed Scotland’s other favourite drink, Irn Bru is a carbonated soft drink with an indescribable taste, thanks to its secret recipe that contains 32 flavours.  

VAME Malts was founded by a group of friends in Munich who “made their favourite hobby into something more.”

“The development of this whisky was a wild ride! VAME Malts said. “After a slow start, the cask influence kicked in big time after two months, delivering a seriously surprising result. This is for the whisky rebels, the ones who like their drams fun, a little weird, and definitely not boring – a refreshing take in our opinion.”

The result? 

“…a hygge fireplace with a peaty punch that tickles your taste buds and warms your soul…seaweed and steak pie in smoky sauce.“It's a banger.

Sweet Peat on overdrive, but surprisingly umami.”

So, who’d be keen (game) to get some in their Glass?
