Aerstone 10 Year Old - Sea Cask
Smooth Sailing Pleasures
The Aerstone 10 Year Old Sea Cask is a distinctive single malt Scotch whisky crafted by William Grant & Sons, known for its smooth and easy character, making it accessible for both seasoned enthusiasts and those new to whisky.
This expression is part of a duo aiming to demystify single malt Scotch by offering two clear taste profiles: Sea Cask, focused on smoothness and ease, and its counterpart, Land Cask, which presents a bolder, smokier profile.
The Sea Cask's light amber color hints at its delicate and inviting nature. Its nose offers a blend of melon, sea air, vanilla, and apples, suggesting a maritime influence despite its subtlety. The palate is characterized by cinnamon, malt, fruit salad, a touch of oak, and syrupy sweetness, leading to a finish that is drying with spice and tropical fruit notes, described as fairly short but pleasant.
Critics have noted its creamy vanilla fudge, barley sugar sweetness, and distant orange citrus on the nose, with a palate that combines vanilla icing, barley sugar, sugared almonds, and gentle oak.
Aerstone Sea Cask is matured in warehouses near the sea, aiming for a lighter, fruitier expression, which distinguishes it from the more traditional Speyside and Islay styles. Its maturation process is designed to subtly incorporate the salty sea air, contributing to its unique flavor profile without overwhelming the senses with peat or smoke.

This unique whisky aged for ten years in sea casks delivers an invigorating and delightful experience. It is imbued with a delicate floral aroma and a subtle, nutty essence that intertwines harmoniously with the notes of toasted almonds and sweet cotton candy on the palate. The lingering oak finish, complemented by a delicate sweetness, must be savored to truly appreciate the complexity of this exquisite drink.

Although hesitant at first, I really enjoyed savoring the delicate floral notes and creamy vanilla background of it. The lingering oak finish with a touch of sweetness offer a rewarding option.
