The Antiquary is a blended whisky created by the Tomatin distillery . In september 2015 they released 800 bottles of this 35 year-old expression . It’s supposed to be 50% Tomatin and 50% Girvan.

The Antiquary was originally created by the Hardie brothers back in 1888. The name is taken from the famous Gothic novel written by Sir Walter Scott, redolent with family secrets, stories of hidden treasure and hopeless love.

Their specific, faceted bottle design reminds me of some 1970s or 1980s blends, but they chose to put the 35yo in a more classic bottle.
