The Black Watch Boulevardier: A Fireside Toast to Timeless Style

A Cocktail Born of Heritage and Boldness

In the soft glow of evening, where stories are passed between sips and sparks rise from the fire, a drink like the Black Watch Boulevardier finds its moment. Elegant, moody, and bold — much like the tartan for which it’s named — this cocktail brings refinement to the rugged.

At Prince of Scots, we believe every drink tells a story. And this one begins in a leather camp chair, under string lights, wrapped in our iconic Black Watch throw, glass in hand.

Prince of Scots Double Merino Reversible Throw (Black Watch)

A Tartan Twist on a Classic

The Boulevardier has always been the thinking man’s Negroni — deeper, more introspective, crafted for those who appreciate whisky’s smoky undertones. Our Black Watch variation pays tribute to the rich history of one of Scotland’s most enduring tartans, with a spirit that reflects its strength and timeless appeal.

This cocktail is best served in a hammered Prince of Scots copper julep cup, its chill matched only by the evening breeze. Picture the Black Watch throw draped across a teak bench or leather folding chair — a fireside scene styled for the modern gentleman.
