What is Scots Pine Syrup?
Scots Pine syrup is a lesser-known wild syrup made from one of Scotland’s most iconic trees, Pinus sylvestris. While pine flavours are often associated with sharp or medicinal notes, Scots Pine syrup offers a surprisingly soft and rounded profile, making it ideal for creative culinary use.
Its unique taste—hinting at forest, smoke, vanilla, and citrus—has earned it a place in the pantries of chefs and bartenders experimenting with foraged and terroir-based ingredients. As interest in local and sustainable flavours grows, Scots Pine syrup is becoming a standout choice in wild cuisine.
