AerstoneLandCask10YearOldSingleMaltScotchWhisky(700ml)

Sans Other reviewsâ€?This was launched as a ‘budgetâ€?single malt for Tesco. It’s good that it would come with an age statement, but the ABV screams ‘cheapoâ€? It is, in fact, one of the several styles made at Ailsa Bay at Girvan. Let’s seeâ€?Colour: light gold. Nose: some farmy peat, a little mud, some grist and a touch of vanillin. Well, this baby does not tear you apart, that’s good. In a way. Mouth: extremely light, with some smoke, a touch of apple and lemon, notes of smoked ham, and perhaps a touch of iodine. There is something of the lightest Laphroaig 10s â€?not the current production mind you. Frustratingly light body. Finish: short, leaving a feeling of smoked water. Comments: peat is good but when there’s only peat (plus a little barley), that’s not quite enough. A little disappointing, typical 75-pointer in my book, hope they’ll also do a kind of high-proof version, without dropping the age statement. 75 points â€?whiskyfun.com
