You want a Scotch that just works . Pour it after a long day, hand it round at a braai, top it with soda when the night gets going. Claymore is soft, mellow and easy on the wallet, with a gentle smoky edge that keeps it interesting. No drama, no fuss, no need to overthink it. And the litre bottle means you're sorted for more than one round.
First whiff is mellow and rounded, soft caramel and a little orchard fruit, nothing sharp jumping at you. On the tongue it's smooth and medium-bodied, with sweet notes of caramel and a touch of milk chocolate, then a quiet curl of smoke drifting through the back. The finish is short and clean, which is exactly why it's so drinkable. This is an approachable blend, not a peat monster.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Claymore is a blended Scotch from Whyte & Mackay, one of Scotland's old blending houses. It's named after the claymore, the big two-handed Highland sword, and the brand goes all the way back to the 1880s. These days it's built as a no-nonsense everyday blend, the kind of bottle Scots keep on the shelf for any night of the week rather than save for a special one.
