The Antiquary 12 Year comes to us from the Tomatin Distillery, situated in the midst of the Monadhliath Mountains. Producing a wide range of whiskies, before 2012 Tomatin produced whisky mainly for blends, and for a short time in the mid-20th century, produced the most whisky in Scotland at 12 million liters annually.

Tasting Notes

"The Antiquary starts as a gentle whisky with vanilla, honey, toffee and caramel hanging easily on the nose. A hint of lemon in the background reveals itself as the whisky opens up. Faint herbs start the end of the nose, moving easily about with vanilla and becoming chai-like. Once the whisky hits the tongue, it opens warm and rich, and sweet with vanilla, toffee, and honey moving through with malt biscuits to settle in the mouth. The finish is floral, very crisp and fresh, ending with fresh morning dew on grass; a real breakfast whisky."
