Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany-tinged edge, a warm, inviting glow.

Nose

Sherry-soaked aromas rise from the glass, with dark plum and raisin fruit, cocoa, and toasted almond. A touch of toffee sweetness mingles with orange zest, vanilla, and warm oak, while nuanced spice adds elegance to the finish.

Palate

Velvet and rich on the palate, this De Luxe 12-year-old reveals dried fruit, fig and raisin sweetness, toffee and vanilla, with sherry-driven almond and orange zest. Gentle spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—wander through a smooth oak frame, finishing with fruitcake, cocoa and a warm, lingering glow.

Finish

A long, supple finish that lingers with sherried sweetness—raisin, fig and cocoa—balanced by toasted oak and subtle spice. Cozy warmth tapers to a soft, vanilla-dusted fade.

The Antiquary
The Antiquary is a blended Scotch whisky with Edinburgh roots, first registered as a brand by J&W Hardie in 1888. Its name comes from Sir Walter Scott’s 1816 novel The Antiquary, and the whisky became known for its distinctive diamond-shaped bottle, a design introduced in the mid-20th century and retained through later ownership changes.
