About this bottle
Forty-one Highland single malts, some aged up to 20 years, go into Usquaebach Old Rare, a blended Scotch whisky with a malt content of 85 percent — the inverse of the grain-heavy formula most blends follow. Usquaebach bottles it at 43 percent in a porcelain flagon, a holdover from the days when Scotch traveled in stoneware, which makes the bottle as recognizable as what is in it. The pour runs rich amber, with cedar, cracked pepper, and creme brulee on the nose and coffee bean and white chocolate through the palate. The finish turns to warm spice and malted barley. Keep the flagon for the shelf and the whisky for slow evenings — it suits a heavy tumbler and good company.
How to drink Usquaebach Old Rare
Serve it in a heavy tumbler for slow evenings with good company — this blend's high malt content earns the extra attention.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve Usquaebach Old Rare?
Neat or with a single large ice cube in a rocks glass lets the aromatics open up; a tulip-shaped glass like a Glencairn is best for nosing. Once opened, keep the bottle upright in a cool spot out of direct light — whiskey doesn't spoil, but it slowly loses aroma once the bottle is more than half empty, so it's best finished within a year or two.
What makes Usquaebach Old Rare unusual for a blended Scotch?
It's 85% malt whisky, the inverse of the grain-heavy formula most blends follow, drawing on forty-one Highland single malts, some aged up to 20 years.
Where is Usquaebach Old Rare produced?
It's produced in Highlands, Scotland.
What should I know about Usquaebach?
Usquaebach — an older spelling of the Gaelic word that gives whisky its name — has long been known for bottling its blends in distinctive porcelain flagons rather than glass.
