The Antiquary 21yo Blended Scotch Whisky is a premium blend of rare Scottish malt and grain whiskies, carefully matured for over 21 years in specially selected oak casks. This handsomely presented, 21-year-old expression showcases a light, delicate character with a smooth, lingering finish. With an ABV of 43% and a generous 700ml size, this whisky is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of J & W Hardie Ltd., the renowned brand behind The Antiquary. The Antiquary brand pays homage to the 1816 published book by Sir Walter Scott, "The Antiquary," which narrates the adventures of a young man who befriends a hobby-historian and antiquities collector in search of hidden treasure. The story's themes of unrequited love, unknown identity, deception, and financial difficulties provide a vivid portrait of Scottish life at the time. The first blend under The Antiquary name was released in 1888, thanks to the efforts of John and William Hardie, who continued their father's whisky shop in Edinburgh. In 1996, the Tomatin Distillery, owned by Japanese interests, acquired the brand, further elevating it into the premium market of Scotch blended whiskies. The distinctive, diamond-shaped bottle has since become synonymous with The Antiquary. On the nose, The Antiquary 21 Year Old offers a fresh, invigorating, and malty aroma with notes of treacle toffee, bitter orange, and lemon. The palate is full and smooth, with a warming, syrupy sweetness and an eruption of malty flavors. The finish is long and satisfying, with a heather-honeyed aftertaste and a dry oak spice.
The Antiquary 21yo is unique due to its blend of rare Scottish malt and grain whiskies, matured for over 21 years in specially selected oak casks. Its light and delicate character, combined with a smooth, lingering finish, sets it apart.
The distiller behind The Antiquary 21yo is J & W Hardie Ltd., a brand with a rich history dating back to 1888, now owned by the Tomatin Distillery.
