Tasting Notes

Imagine sipping on a dram that transports you to a cozy library, surrounded by the aroma of polished woodwork and a faint whiff of fragrant tobacco. The Antiquary 15 Year Old – Claret Casks is a symphony of flavors, reminiscent of clove-studded oranges, barbecued stone fruits, and leathery oak. As you savor the liquid gold, your palate is greeted by a delightful blend of sticky, sweet dates, tangy notes of rhubarb and raspberry, all harmoniously balanced by the underlying warmth of oaken vanilla. The finish is a lingering embrace of jammy red fruits, accompanied by a delicate warmth of woody spice that lingers pleasantly. This blended Scotch whisky, crafted from a harmonious combination of Highland and Speyside malts and Lowland grains, spent 15 years maturing, including a generous marrying period in Claret red wine casks from the renowned Bordeaux region, imparting a depth and complexity that will leave you longing for another sip.
