How Do You Pronounce Drucquer?

[beefeater33]

I've been enjoying a tin of Drucquer and Sons "Blairgowrie"..... Wonderful stuff. Never got to go to the legendary shop. So what is the correct way to pronounce this? Drukker? Drew-ker? Dru-kwa?..... Thanks-- this question pops in my head every time I smoke a bowl of this.............. :crazy: .......... I know.

I guess Shane Ireland has the right answer since he is in the business:

It's pronounced D 'n' S. Just like Guns and Roses is pronounced.

 

[jguss]

My understanding is “drew-ker”

 

[mso489]

Accent on the first syllable?

I bet Greg Pease knows!
"Drew-ker" would be consistent with the French-looking name. (though it could have been anglicized) Brit: " Drukkah"

I bet Greg Pease knows!

Yea, that's what I was thinking too.......... maybe Greg will chime in.......... :: I was calling it Drucker, as in "trucker", but I'm thinking JGuss is probably right on this one..... "Drew-ker"

I just call it awesome. The Prince’s Blend is my favorite of what I’ve sampled so far.

I think I've heard it pronounced "drukkers" by Greg. Could be mistaken of course.

I believe that Dru-ker would be correct.

If it’s pronounced how I’ve heard it, you can make a fine limerick with it. Which incidentally are also from Ireland. :lol:

I have asked Mr. Pease to enlighten us. I am waiting for his response.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Haven't seen a lot of Greg on here for a while.

 

[jvnshr]

I think he had a surgery. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

 

[perdurabo]

Drew-Ker? I think that's right.

 

[9mmpuffer]

I always pronounced it Druk-Ker, guess I was wrong.

This question of pronunciation was raised on Facebook today and I ran across this thread in my attempt to find a definitive answer. I saw that Greg Pease had been unavailable to provide the answer, but having recently corresponded with him, I figured I'd give it another go.
My question: "So.... is it Drukker or Drooker (as in "boot")? ”
His answer: "For what it's worth, we always called it 'Drooker' because that's how the family pronounced it."

Well, foo-ker, it's Drooker!
Where's the beef? Only eight months ago he raised the question.
