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.
Lots of maritime peat, with notes of iodine intertwined with honey sweetness, paprika, salted caramel and old bookshelves.
Smoke returns alongside mint dark chocolate, espresso and new leather, with honey and soy sauce mixed together.
Boiled mint sweeties, liquorice allsorts, bonfire smoke and toffee penny, with a pinch of salt.
Easy drinking , subtle - easy introduction to Islay whiskey
Excellent malt definitely one to buy again.
Solid Islay Malt with an absolutely incredible mouthfeel... this is both complex and easy drinking. Big, long, everything it should be.
Cracked open this wee beauty while away on Islay and didn't even get a chance to replace the core before the whisky was gone. A tasty tasty sharing dram. I can't wait for the rest of the range to release.
