Whyte & Mackay 21 Year & 12 Year Tantalus Set Blended Scotch Whisky 2 x 37.5 cl 40%

Whyte & Mackay 21 Year & 12 Year Tantalus Set Blended Scotch Whisky 2 x 37.5 cl is a luxurious set that combines two iconic expressions from the traditional blended whisky brand Whyte & Mackay. Delivered in an elegant tantalus presentation, this set is both a beautiful collector's item and an opportunity to experience two different ages of the same house’s rich and sophisticated style.

Whyte & Mackay 21 Year Old
This 21-year-old edition is crafted with the characteristic double maturation method that Whyte & Mackay has refined through generations. First, the individual malt and grain whiskies are matured separately for many years. Then they are blended and matured once more together – a process that creates remarkable depth, smoothness, and harmony in the final result, perfected by Richard Patterson, their Master Blender.

The whisky opens with aromas of ripe fruit, especially pear and dried apricots, elegantly balanced by sweet toffee and toasted oak. A discreet touch of orange peel adds freshness to the nose and invites further exploration. On the palate, it is silky and full-bodied, with warm notes of dark chocolate and vanilla merging with dried fruit and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The balance of sweetness and spice creates a layered and complex profile that evolves gradually.

The finish is long, rounded, and elegant, leaving behind a pleasant warmth with lingering notes of sweetness, wood, and a subtle hint of dry smoke. Whyte & Mackay 21 Year Old is not just a whisky – it is a celebration of Scottish blending craftsmanship and an ideal choice for special occasions or as a gift for the discerning whisky lover. Best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass, where its full range of nuances can unfold.

Whyte & Mackay 12 Year Old
The 12-year-old version presents the house style in a more approachable form. Here, one finds a rounded and rich flavor profile with honey, vanilla, orange peel, and gentle spices, supported by light sherry notes and soft oak. It is fresher and lighter than the 21-year-old expression, yet still carries the distinctive depth and balance that Whyte & Mackay is known for.

Tantalus Presentation
Both bottles (2 x 37.5 cl) are delivered in an exclusive tantalus – a classic design originally created to securely store fine spirits. This makes the set both a decorative and functional collector’s piece, perfect for display in any whisky collection.

Whyte & Mackay 21 & 12 Year Old Tantalus Set is an ideal choice for collectors, connoisseurs, or as a gift for a whisky enthusiast who wishes to experience both the mature elegance and the vibrant youth within Whyte & Mackay’s blending tradition.
