The Claymore Blended Scotch Whisky is a Scottish whisky with roots stretching back to 1890, crafted by A. Ferguson & Co and later taken into the Whyte & Mackay portfolio. Bottled at 40% ABV, this whisky is a harmonious blend of aged malt and grain whiskies, matured for around four to five years. It delivers a profile that melds mild peat smoke with sweet fruit and a touch of oak. Ideal for both everyday sipping and mixing, it is known for offering good flavor and tradition at a value price.
