Birkentree Highland Silver Sap Birchwater (100ml)


Hand harvested in the ancient woodlands of Dunkeld, Perthshire by the dedicated husband and wife team Rob and Gabrielle Clamp, Birkentree Highland Silver Sap Birchwater is a beautifully pure revival of historic Scottish food and drink tradition. Tapped entirely by hand during a fleeting three week window in early spring when the forest awakes from its winter slumber, this unique elixir is 100% natural tree sap collected from venerable wild birch trees ranging from one to three centuries old. By reviving this lost art, which largely disappeared from rural culture after the Highland Clearances, Birkentree celebrates a sacred, sustainable practice stretching back over 5,000 years into Neolithic history.

This pristine forest sap offers an extraordinarily smooth and delicate tasting experience. While fascinating to enjoy chilled as a light, refreshing standalone beverage, it has achieved legendary status as a dedicated whisky enhancement, earning high acclaim from top industry connoisseurs. Shaken vigorously and poured at an optimum one to one ratio alongside a cherished dram, it does not dilute or mask the spirit like ordinary water. Instead, its unique mineral composition, silky texture, and subtle hint of sweetness actively dial back any harsh alcohol burn, perfectly illuminating the hidden layers of flavour, fruit nuances, and complex characteristics of the whisky.
