■ Greetings

Hello, enthusiasts! This is Antique Liquor.

We have recently opened an online shop for those of you looking for The Old Bottle Whiskey, antique glasses, or both! In our shelves is a rich collection of whiskies and glasses that have aged over many years (but not dusty!), and are now vintage. Through our offerings and articles, we hope to inspire in you a unique taste for the that our vintage items charm have.

■ About me

I have been a long-term whisky lover and enthusiast, an avid fan of The Old Bottle Whiskey. Now, I am not particularly picky, but what got me hooked on The Old Bottle Whiskey is not only the richness of its flavor or its balance, either of which no current products could ever replicate, but also the fact that old whiskies allow me learn more about their history and about the people who made them. What's more, when I find a good whisky, I want to celebrate its beauty in a nice glass, which is how I got into collecting antique glasses.

Such a feeling of joy, evoked by The Old Bottle Whiskey placed in a romantic, aged crystal, has led me to start and run Antique Liquor.

■ About The Old Bottle Whiskey

other antiques that could be preserved, even restored, The Old Bottle Whiskey, once opened and drunk, will disappear forever from our world, never to be passed on to future generations. It will leave behind only a fleeting memory or aftertaste despite its enriching flavor. Thus, The Old Bottle Whiskey is a consumable cultural treasure that can even be considered a masterful work of art. Being a precious but rare commodity, it is most likely that the current generation will be the last to consume The Old Bottle Whiskey, a cultural privilege available only to those living in this era.

■ About our products

To exactly define The Old Bottle Whiskey will lead to some inaccuracy, so I shall pronounce that it is whisky that has been discontinued for more than two decades. The Old Bottle Whiskey that I enjoy and sell at Antique Liquor is whisky that was discontinued between the 1950s and 1990s. The list includes single malt whisky, pure malt whisky (including malt blended whisky), and malt blended whisky.

For glasses, Antique Liquor has a selection of aged items from the late 19th century up to modern times, mainly crystal products from Baccarat, Saint-Louis, and Dom Crystal. We also have Japanese pottery glasses and craft glass glasses that make drinking Japanese whisky an exceptional experience.

■ Message to our customers

Antique Liquor shall provide you essential knowledge about the history of whisky, whisky production methods, blending recipes, and the various types of glasses, so the experience will not only supplement your thirst for whisky, but also for enlightenment.
Join us in exploring and enjoying the whiskies from what was considered The Golden Age of Whiskey Production, the most wonderful era in human history!

Due to the complexities of international customs clearance and shipping cost calculations during order processing, our shop currently ships only within Japan.
