Claymore 70cl

Tasting Notes

Here’s how Claymore typically presents across nose, palate, and finish:

• Nose / Aroma: Gentle and layered you may detect light cereal grain, soft vanilla, hints of orchard fruits (apple or pear), and a touch of honeyed malt. Some slight oak or wood spice underpins the aromas.
• Palate / Taste: Medium body, smooth entry. The malt sweetness leads, balanced by a mild spice (white pepper or cinnamon) and gentle oak influence. Some drinkers report light dried fruit or nutty undertones.
• Finish: Warming, with a moderate length. The oak and spice fade gradually, leaving residual warmth and mellow grain notes.

Because it is not an ultra-aged or intensely peated whisky, Claymore is well suited to being sipped neat, or enjoyed with a drop of water or an ice cube to open up its aromas.

Accolades & Reviews

While Claymore is not widely covered in major whisky awards, it has modest presence in whisky enthusiast circles:

• On WhiskyBase, The Claymore Scotch Whisky has a user rating (though limited) — indicating some market awareness.
• In various retailers, Claymore is marketed with an “Apollo rating of 87/100” (in relation to the 700 ml listing) in one catalogue, reflecting a mid-to-good score in third-party rating systems.
• Many local liquor shops in Kenya list Claymore alongside everyday blended Scotch whiskies, commonly offering it as an accessible, crowd-pleasing option.

Although Claymore doesn’t carry the prestige of ultra-premium labels, it stands out in its price-category for consistency, approachability, and Scottish identity.

Little-Known Facts

• The blend is designed not to dominate, but to balance many whisky drinkers use Claymore as a “workhorse” Scotch: solid for everyday sipping, mixing, or sharing without worrying about “wasting” a rare or aged dram.
• Globally, Claymore doesn’t usually compete head-to-head with luxury single malts or 18-year blends; instead, it occupies a niche among accessible, reliable blended Scotch whiskies.
