Tasting notes:
Color: Light gold with warm amber reflections.
Nose: Fresh citrus notes and ripe apples, accompanied by honey, vanilla and a hint of oak spice.
Taste: Soft and full-bodied with sweet caramel and malt notes, combined with nuances of dried fruit, spicy oak and a hint of smoke.
Finish: Long-lasting and smooth with a fine balance of sweetness, spice and subtle smokiness.
The Antiquary 12 Years Old is perfect for pure enjoyment - whether at room temperature or with a few drops of water to further develop its aromas. It also cuts an excellent figure on ice or as an elegant base for whisky cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or a Rob Roy.
In culinary terms, this whisky harmonizes particularly well with nutty hard cheese, dark chocolate or caramelized nuts. Its slightly smoky note also goes perfectly with grilled meat, smoked salmon or spicy desserts such as crème brûlée.
A wonderfully balanced, elegant blended Scotch that is an excellent choice for whisky beginners and connoisseurs alike. With its mild, complex aroma and high-quality presentation, it is an ideal companion for special moments.
