In 1890, Alexander Ferguson founded a company that presented the world with the Claymore brand of whiskey. It was at this time that whiskey as a drink became the most popular.
And it begins to divide it into public brands and collection varieties. Single malt drinks are highly valued, although a mixture or blend of several varieties of alcohol is incredibly aromatic. Mixing distillates with different years of aging is also practiced, but at the same time, when bottling, the label indicates the period of the youngest of the alcohols.
Brand
Especially for their whiskey, the Scots use the “five S rule” - Sight, Smell, Swish, Swallow, Splash - look, smell, sip, swallow, mold water. That is, you need to understand in which form it is better to enjoy the drink - with ice or in pure form. And it was the Scots who taught the whole world to call the drink nothing more than “scotch tape” - “Scottish”. Although the Irish are willing to argue for the palm.
Claymore whiskey is made in the lowlands of southern Scotland - Lowland (English Lowland) at one of the factories of the company Whyte & Mackay. The unique flavor and aroma characteristics of The Claymore whiskey almost immediately made it popular at the level of similar deluxe drinks.
On taste and color
This drink is associated in our country with strong-willed chins and muscles of the cool Western heroes, elegant lords in historical melodramas, successful police inspectors of militants, self-confident oligarchs, and just dudes.
Connoisseurs of Claymore whiskey malt leave extremely positive reviews. Despite the softness and some caramel sweetness in taste that appeal to a female audience, men note an excellent fortress warming the esophagus at 40% and a short aftertaste with grassy notes and shades of smoke and peat.
The most popular drink with 8 years of aging. The manufacturer also supplies The Claymore 12-year and 21-year-old whiskeys to the alcohol market.
How is he good?
This drink belongs to the blended type. That is, about 35 varieties of cereals from Southern and Northern Scotland are used in its manufacture. The unique peaty, oily, gently enveloping woody-grassy sweetish flavor, the amber-golden color of the drink appeared after the master, blending wizard Robert Paterson, worked with it. It is thanks to his merits in improving the consumer characteristics of the Claymore whiskey brand that the sales amount increased by one zero at the end.
For consumers of a charismatic drink, the price will not be a blow to the budget. If, for example, the price of a 12-year-old Chivas Regal with a volume of 1 liter costs 4-5 thousand rubles, then you will think about it more than once - but is it necessary? But at Claymore whiskey, the price of 1 liter is more than affordable - about 1000 rubles in online stores or in Duty Free boutiques.
A bit of tradition
Drinking whiskey is slow, in a friendly company, perhaps with a cigar. Moreover, it is recommended to dip a cigar in whiskey before starting to light it. Dip in the end that does not scorch.
Claymore whiskey, like other malt drinks, is recommended to drink chilled, diluting a little with water - it reveals the taste characteristics. Allow yourself to truly enjoy the evening with perhaps the most popular drink in the world.
