Aerolite Lyndsay 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 30ml Miniature
From The Character of Islay Whisky Company comes a mysterious Islay single malt that goes by the name Aerolite Lyndsay. The peaty whisky has been sourced from an undisclosed distillery on the island, though we have been told that the liquid was aged for 10 years in a mixture of bourbon barrels and Spanish oak sherry quarter casks, which sounds thoroughly delicious. It's bottled without any additional colouring, or any of that chill-filtration, too.
Oh, and the name? If you havn't Countdown-ed it out already, Aerolite Lyndsay is in fact an anagram of the words ‘ten year old Islay’! See what they did there? Very nifty.
Nose
Lots of maritime peat, with notes of iodine intertwined with honey sweetness, paprika, salted caramel and old bookshelves.
Palate
Smoke returns alongside mint dark chocolate, espresso and new leather, with honey and soy sauce mixed together.
Finish
Boiled mint sweeties, liquorice allsorts, bonfire smoke and toffee penny, with a pinch of salt.
