We are opening an Antique Liquor store.
■ Greetings
Hello everyone. This is Antique Liquor.
We have recently opened an online store that sells aged whiskey and antique glass. We stock whiskey and glasses that have been produced for many years and are now considered aged and antique. We would be delighted to share with you the unique appeal of old things through our products and article content.
■ About Me
I am the manager of Antique Liquor, and I am a long-time whiskey enthusiast and consumer of aged whiskey. What got me hooked on aged whiskey was not only the rich flavor and balance that cannot be replicated in current whiskey products, but also the fact that it allows you to experience the history of people and whiskey. When faced with good liquor, I began to feel the desire to enjoy it in a beautiful glass, and my hobby expanded to include antique glass.
■ About the Old Bottle whiskey
Unlike other antiques, once aged whiskey is opened and drunk, it disappears from our world forever, leaving behind a fleeting aftertaste and memory, and will not be passed down to future generations. In this respect, aged whiskey is a cultural asset that can be consumed, and a work of art. Although this precious aged whiskey is limited in quantity, the current generation will probably be the last consumers. That is why aged whiskey can be said to be a cultural privilege that only people living in this era can enjoy.
■ About our products
There is no official definition of aged whiskey, but I personally define it as "whisky that has been out of production for more than 20 years." The aged whiskeys that I enjoy drinking and introduce on Antique Liquor are a number of whiskeys that were discontinued between the 1950s and 1990s. These include single malt whiskey, pure malt whiskey (including malt blended whiskey), and malt grain blended whiskey.
As for glasses, we have a selection of antiques from the late 19th century (1800s) to modern times, focusing on crystal products such as Baccarat, Saint Louis, and Dome Crystal. We also have Japanese ceramic glasses and craft glassware, which are perfect for enjoying Japanese whiskey.
■ Message to everyone
Antique Liquor will provide a wide variety of information to help you enjoy this golden age of aged whiskey, including the history of whiskey, whiskey production methods, blending recipes, and glasses made from a variety of materials. Come explore and enjoy the whiskey of this most wonderful era in human history, also known as the Golden Age of whiskey making.
■ About international shipping
Due to the difficulty of dealing with international customs duties and calculating shipping fees at the time of order payment, we only ship within Japan. Therefore, customers from overseas are requested to place orders through the Buyee page below.
(Buyee service collaboration is currently in preparation.)
