Elizabeth Stuart |
A whisky is named for the granddaughter of Mary Queen of Scots. From
The Edinburgh Reporter:
Fusion Whisky Director Graham Langley said: “Elizabeth’s story is a
superb one, and certainly deserving of a wider audience. Our Winter Queen whisky serves to honour this forgotten Scottish princess and to bring greater awareness to her remarkable life and influence.”
Dr Nadine Akkerman of Leiden University is the leading authority on
Elizabeth Stuart. She said: “More politically cunning than her
grandmother, Mary, Queen of Scots, and more belligerent than her
godmother, Elizabeth I, she never relinquished the title Queen of
Bohemia, even though she spent upwards of forty years in exile in The
Hague after but a year in Prague.” Dr Akkerman said that the thousands of letters Elizabeth wrote to
statesmen and stateswomen, generals, lieutenants, ambassadors and other
diplomats, showed the complex, witty and influential character of
Elizabeth, whom history has largely overlooked.
The Winter Queen is the third character-led blend of international
whisky launched by the company who work in collaboration with Adelphi. (Read more.)
