Carefully matured for over 10 years at William Grant & Sons Lowland distillery, perched on the intense environs of the Ayrshire coast, Scotland. Some of our whiskies are aged in a warehouse located by the sea. This impacts the maturation process and delivers a smooth whisky with a hint of sea salt. Further inland, our whiskies mature in warehouses where the sea has less of an influence on flavour. These whiskies are more peated, and have a rich and smoky character.
Aerstone Land Cask is known for its straightforward and accessible style, combining traditional Speyside and Islay whisky characteristics. It's peated using Highland peat and matured inland to enhance the smoky flavors, making it a great introduction to peated whiskies for newcomers or a pleasant everyday dram for seasoned enthusiasts .
Nose:
This whisky begins with a nose of vanilla and sweet smoke, enriched by a gentle tangy and candied orange aroma, giving it a complex and inviting start.
Palate:
On the palate, the Aerstone Land Cask presents a rich and silky smooth texture with a sweet peaty flavor. Notes of brown sugared peat are joined by liquorice, vanilla toffee, salted caramel, and a mix of candied citrus fruits. These flavors are layered with a subtle touch of oak, creating a rich, smoky, and slightly sweet taste profile.
Finish:
The finish is long and dominated by vanilla sweet peat smoke, which gently fades into lemon citrus and mildly drying oak. This leaves a lasting impression that is both bold and rich, with a satisfying smokiness.
