Aerolite Lyndsay 10 Year Old
A peated single malt from Character of Islay Whisky Company, distilled at a mystery distillery on Islay and matured for a decade in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. The palate offers notes of poached peaches, hibiscus, earthy smoke and bonfires on the beach.
Description
This Islay is something of a wildcard, coming from a mystery distillery on the island. Aged for a decade in a combination of Spanish ex-sherry and American ex-bourbon barrels, its name is an anagram of ‘ten-year-old Islay’. Expect plenty of peat in the nose, and dark chocolate and espresso in the body.
The nose has plenty of maritime peat, interlaced with honey, caramel, and a kick of spice. The peat carries through to the palate, like a bonfire on the beach, mixed with notes of dark chocolate, espresso and hibiscus. The embers from the bonfire continue to burn in the palate with a delicious hint of toffee sweetness.
