Dram: A Scottish term for a measure of spirits, particularly whisky. The term is said to originate from the Greek ‘Drachma’ which refers to the apothecary measurement of sixty grains, equal to 1/8 ounce.
The phrase has been popularised in recent years by Drinks by the Dram, whose sample ‘drams’ we use to power our sample service Dram Club.
