How on earth the world managed to get to this stage without a day completely dedicated to whisky is a complete mystery? It is astounding - but thanks to this young man Blair Bowman pictured below – the inaugural World Whisky Day takes place this Thursday and Howies being a Scottish Restaurant are of course joining in the celebrations from day 1.
One of our most popular sweets is an Affogato – a delicious double espresso drizzled over two scoops of Mackies ice-cream – no we don’t make our own ice cream because Alison, one of the Howies partners is from Aberdeen and this is where Mackies make what we believe is the most delicious ice cream in the world!
Mackies was originally a dairy farm and as the fashion for drinking the cream off the top of the milk waned they wondered what on earth to do with the glut of cream. It was at this point some bright spark came up with the idea of making ice cream. And the rest as they say is delicious ice cream history.
So we serve Mackies at Howies as it fits the criteria of being Scottish and delicious!
So….for the first ever World Whisky Day we are serving a double scoop of Mackies drenched with either a measure of Drambuie or a delicious Malt.
Once tasted – you’ll be smitten.
Or perhaps you would prefer A Rusty Nail? No that's not me being rude! It's a wonderful Scottish cocktail with a kick like a front row forward. YUM!
If you're not in Scotland then don't despair people are celebrating all over the world just check out the website below and join in wherever you happen to be on Thursday.
