The Lowlands

This Aerstone 10 year old Land Cask Single Malt Whisky is produced by William Grant & Sons at the Ailsa Bay Distillery located on the Ayrshire coast of the Scottish Lowlands.

Unlike its whisky counterpart named Sea Cask, Land Cask is matured at a warehouse much further inland, and the use of Highland peat makes it a more sweet and smoky whisky.

Nose: Earthy peat smoke and vanilla pod, with a briney note, black pepper, smoked meats and burnt rubber, with just a touch of fresh fruity sweetness.

Palate: Balanced sweet and smoky notes, with aniseed, burnt brown sugar, charred oak and salted honeycomb. Then there's olive brine, barbecued citrus fruit and smoked meats.

Finish: Sweet and smoky battle it out on the finish, with vanilla fudge and peat smoke alongside dry, spicy oak.

Auchentoshan Three Wood is triple distilled and matured in American Bourbon Oak. It is finished in Spanish Olorosso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. The result - a Lowland single malt rich with dark fruits, thick butterscotch, roasted hazelnuts and the signature smooth, delicate Auchentoshan taste. Alcohol Vol 43%

A delicate, triple distilled malt from Auchentoshan - king of the Lowlands. This one is aged in American ex-bourbon barrels and has all the hallmarks of this ageing technique; grass and citrus, vanilla and lashings of coconut. Add some spice and white peaches at the death and you're there! 

The flagship expression from the Glenkinchie distillery, one of the stalwarts of the Lowlands. A fantastic introduction to the region, Glenkinchie 12 Year Old shows off the characteristic lightness and grassy elements that Lowland whiskies are known for, with nods to cooked fruit and Sauternes wine along the way. Brilliant single malt to enjoy as an aperitif on a warm evening.

Nose: A light, aromatic nose with hints of barley malt, almonds, hazelnuts and manuka honey/beeswax.

Palate: Very fruity palate with a mix of stewed fruits, dessert wine, apple peels and honey. Becomes quite oaky late palate.

Finish: A medium-length finish with barley and freshly mown grass?

It's smooth, fresh, nutty, citrusy whisky that will satisfy pretty much everyone.The palate is sweet caramel and burnt sugar, thanks to the bourbon wood used. It finishes quite spicy, with fresh ginger and toasted almonds.

It's called Dark Oak for a reason and that reason is maturation in a combo of oloroso sherry, Pedro Ximenez sherry and bourbon casks. Auchentoshan are famous for their light, triple distilled, Lowland style... but here it combines beautifully with the wood influence and the result is a single malt packed full of stewed fruit and warming Christmas spice notes.

Some of the casks are matured in warehouses that are located further inland. The conditions here affect our maturation climate and help create a rich and smoky tasking style of whisky that we call Land Cask.

Triple distilled then matured for over eighteen years. The result: a refreshing Lowland Single Malt whisky with the added infusion of ripe citrus and green tea, the warmth of toasted almonds and the signature smooth, delicate Auchentoshan taste.

A 21 year old single malt, triple distilled and aged in second fill sherry casks, though nothing is lost to the power of the sherry. This bottling stands as the flagship for the core Auchentoshan range.

Nose: Soft and supple. Dry grass. Fruity notes, a citrus edge and very floral honey.

Palate: Oily, nuttiness. Dry and rounded with sugared peels.

Finish: Apricot conserve on granary toast with dry citrus notes.

Blood Oak earns its name from ageing in bourbon and red wine casks, which impart a deep crimson hue to the spirit. This whisky packs a spicey punch with notes of red fruit and ginger.

Matured for 14 years in ex-Oloroso Sherry casks, this Lowland dram provides rich notes of sweet cinnamon and fruit cake. On the nose you are greeted with wood spices, raisins and sultanas with a suggestion of orange peel and chocolate. To taste more dried fruits and the warming spices of fruit cake. A long, rich finish with a slight dryness leave you going back for a second dram!
