AERSTONE LAND CASK 10 YR

The whisky world is one that has traditionally been shrouded in mystery, machismo and grandeur. All too often are people put off by some the snobby connotations or the fact that it has its own language. One of the most widely recognised and revered names in that whisky world, and particularly, the Scotch whisky world is Glenfiddich. The distillery and brand’s owners William Grants & Sons should be happy with that. Back in September 2018 however, the team at Grants set out to release something new into the whisky-sphere to try and remove some of that mysticism and provide clarity about a whisky, its contents and, ultimately, its taste. How do you achieve this? Not by releasing one new whisky, but by two simultaneous and adversarial single malt scotch whisky expressions. The new brand: Aerstone. The releases: Sea Cask and Land Cask.
