The proper improper way.

Raise your eyebrows. The rest is involuntary.
Half a pat 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 transcriptionActual 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.

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.
Is this real?
Painfully. It’s flavored butter made to join your dram. The humor is complimentary.
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 pat per pour. Adjust according to taste, courage, and whether anyone is watching.
How should I store it?
Keep it chilled. Let one pat soften briefly before its important meeting.
Is the duck included?
The duck has a leadership role and does not ship.
Where does checkout happen?
On Amazon. Fat Duck never asks for or stores payment details.
YOUR SCOTCH HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH.
Put a little butter in it.
Twelve pats. One tin. Several raised eyebrows.
