Antiquity is a brand of Indian whisky, manufactured by United Spirits Ltd (USL), a subsidiary of the United Breweries Group. It was launched in 1992.〔(United Spirits Limited (USL) - Who We Are | About Us ). Unitedspirits.in (2013-03-31). Retrieved on 2013-12-23.〕 It is available in two variants - Antiquity Blue and Antiquity Rare. Antiquity Blue is made of Indian and Scotch malt whisky blended with grain spirit. Antiquity Blue was awarded "Silver Best in Class" in the Spirits Tasting competition by the International Wine and Spirit Competition, held at the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) Conference, which took place in Las Vegas, United States from April 2 to 5, 2012.〔 In a taste test by ''GQ'' magazine, Antiquity Rare received a rating of 4.2/10. The magazine said that the whisky had "won few admirers among the judges, with complaints of a perfumed, nearly acetone taste – except for one diehard fan". The brand's main national competitors are Blenders Pride from Pernod Ricard and Peter Scot from Khoday India Limited, as well as competition from other USL whiskies in the same price range such as Royal Challenge and Signature. In some states, Antiquity also competes with Haig Gold Label from Diageo and Rockford Reserve from (Modi Illva ). ==History== Antiquity was launched in 1992 by Shaw Wallace.〔(United Spirits Limited (USL) - Who We Are | About Us ). Unitedspirits.in (2013-03-31). Retrieved on 2013-12-23.〕 United Spirits Ltd (USL), a subsidiary of the United Breweries Group (UB Group), acquired Shaw Wallace in July 2005. On 1 April 2008, Shaw Wallace was merged with USL and Antiquity officially became a USL brand. In April 2008, the UB Group appointed London-based design firm Claessens International to revamp the packaging of Antiquity. The primary reason behind the revamp was to retain the heritage character and incorporation of the Shaw Wallace name on the bottles of the brand that was formerly owned by SWC. Antiquity was introduced in the United States by American United Beer & Spirits (UBS) at the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) Conference, held in Las Vegas from April 2 to 5, 2012. Antiquity Blue Rare Premium was launched in China on 11 May 2007, which at the time was the most expensive Indian made whisky. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antiquity (whisky)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
