ATHOLL BROSE

Atholl Brose has been famous since 1475 when the Duke of Atholl captured his enemy the Earl of Ross by filling a well, from which the Earl liked to drink, with this magical potion. Ross (not surprisingly) drank deeply and was captured. As to what became of the rest of the well contents... because this took place in Scotland it seems very unlikely that it was wasted!
