The story of Glayva begins in the docks of Leith in Edinburgh in 1947. A local wine and whisky merchant, Ronald Morrison, created a liqueur for his loyal customers. He had access to exotic ingredients such as tangerines, honey and spices. Mixed with Scotch malt whisky, they made for a distinctive and pleasant flavor. Glayva roughly translates to “Very good”, which supposedly was the reaction of the first person to ever taste this tasty liqueur.
