Aerstone 10 Years Sea Cask Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a single malt that captures the essence of Scotland’s rugged coastline in every sip?

Aerstone 10 Years Sea Cask represents William Grant & Sons’ masterful approach to coastal maturation, where Atlantic sea breezes and salt-laden air work their magic on carefully selected casks. This Highland single malt stands apart from conventional whiskies through its unique seaside aging process, creating a distinctly maritime character that whisky enthusiasts crave. Unlike the robust complexity found in expressions like Benromach 10 Years or the oak-forward intensity of Deanston Virgin Oak, Aerstone delivers approachable elegance with sophisticated depth.

• Distillery: Ailsa Bay (William Grant & Sons) – established heritage since 1887
• Region: Scottish Highlands – known for balanced, refined expressions
• ABV: 40% – perfectly calibrated for smooth sipping
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 10 years in coastal warehouses along Ayrshire’s dramatic shoreline
• Tasting Notes: Delicate florals and vanilla on the nose, progressing to lightly-toasted almonds, honey sweetness, and citrus brightness, finishing with gentle oak and distinctive sea salt minerality
• Best Served: Neat in a Glencairn glass or with a splash of spring water

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has evaluated countless Highland expressions, and this consistently impresses with its remarkable balance between accessibility and character. The coastal influence creates subtle brine notes that enhance rather than overpower the whisky’s natural sweetness.
