  • Smoked sea saltThe alibi.

One tiny reserve for twelve large decisions.

FOUR STEPS. THE FOURTH HAPPENS TO YOU.

The proper improper way.

  1. 1

    Pour

    Add your usual measure of scotch. Let it feel important.

  2. 2

    Drop

    Add one cube. Do not overthink the splash.

  3. 3

    Stir

    Eight dignified turns. Nine is showing off.

  4. 4

    Sip

    Raise your eyebrows. The rest is involuntary.

Half a cube if you fear pleasure. Two if you’ve recently updated a spreadsheet.

UNRETOUCHED ENTHUSIASM

He had one sip. The room became a cathedral.

Some people detect peat. Some detect oak. This gentleman detected the precise moment a drink became an event.

“HHHOOOHHH.” — Our best transcription
Actual photo. Actual delight. Burger unrelated.

WHY BUTTER? WE’RE THRILLED YOU ASKED.

Four excellent reasons. One terrible idea.

Softens the edges

Adds velvety body while leaving the plot mostly intact.

Extends the finish

Toast, citrus, smoke, and the sense you’ve beaten the system.

Zero ceremony

No torch, pipette, tasting wheel, or podcast. Drop and stir.

Giftably unnecessary

Handsome on the bar cart. Impossible to forget.

CRITICS ARE SPEECHLESS. CUSTOMERS ARE NOT.

INVENTED AFTER DINNER. AGAINST ADVICE.

A bad idea with an excellent finish.

One night, somebody asked, much too loudly, “What if scotch had butter in it?” Everyone laughed. Then nobody stopped us.

Our research lasted fourteen minutes and involved three rocks glasses, one butter knife, and a person whispering, “Wait. This is actually good.”

Fat Duck exists to preserve that silence in a very handsome tin.

PLEASE, ASK THE OBVIOUS.

Questions from the butter-curious.

Still confused? Excellent. That means you understand the product.

What exactly is Scotch Butter?

Cultured butter with burnished sugar, orange zest, vanilla bean, and smoked sea salt, portioned into cubes for your scotch. Tradition will recover.

Will it offend whisky people?

Almost certainly. Invite them.

Does Scotch Butter contain alcohol?

No. It arrives sober and lets your scotch do the networking.

Can I use it with bourbon or rye?

Yes. We don’t check passports.

How much should I use?

Start with one cube per pour. Adjust according to taste, courage, and whether anyone is watching.

How should I store it?

Keep it chilled. Let one cube soften briefly before its important meeting.

Is the duck included?

The duck has a leadership role and does not ship.

Can I eat a cube by itself?

Legally, it’s butter. Spiritually, it’s waiting for scotch.

YOUR SCOTCH HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH.

Put a little butter in it.

Twelve cubes. One tin. Several raised eyebrows.
