Antiquary 15 Y
John & William Hardie began their quest to create the perfect Blended Scotch Whisky in 1880, using only the finest and rarest Scottish malts. In 1888 they succeeded in creating what was considered to be superior to all other blends - The Antiquary - available only to a small circle of friends and family. This rare and limited release of just 6,000 bottles pays homage to The Antiquary's founders - it has been crafted from Scotland's most outstanding malt and grain whiskies, all of which have been matured for over fifteen years.
A masterfully blended Scotch from The Antiquary collection, this 15 year old limited edition combines an outstanding array of malt and grain whiskies. Released as a tribute to The Antiquary's founders John & William Hardie, who first settled upon their superior blend in 1888, to share with friends and family. Limited to a total of 6,000 bottles, this has a wonderfully fruity and sweet profile making it an ideal after supper sipper!
|TASTING NOTES|
• Aroma
Fresh, juicy red fruits like gala apple, red grape and pomegranate are to the fore. The high malt content of this blend is clear with notes of sweet barley and honey. In time these fresh, sweet flavours give way for a pronounced cinnamon spice.
• Palate
The fresh fruit on the nose continues onto the palate and becomes slightly darker with flavours of fresh plum and cherry. A citrus note, like candied orange peel, emerges before a final pinch of cinnamon.
• Finish
Clean with continued flavours of apple and grape.
