The Character of Islay Whisky Company
Single Malt
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.
Definitely Islay but not in your face smokiness. Gentle on the nose, cold cigarette ash with a little saltiness and fruity sweetness. Smokiness to the fore on the palate with minty dark chocolate coming through along with a little spiciness. The finish isn’t long but is warming and slightly sweet. Before buying this I wasn’t too expectant but I like it.
I've never had a whisky that's felt and tasted so watered down..... I'd be interested to try a cask strength but there's no punch here. No high notes. No heat, no peat. It's all just a bit flat.
Maritime peat and licorice make it truly unique. Wow!
Back here buying a second bottle for the long weekend. Loved my first bottle and it didn't last long! A savoury and sweet nose, light and inviting but full and complex. Great sipper with a sweet finish that made it impossible to have just one. Also, worth telling you guys that I was surprised at the darker colour when my bottle arrived, you need to take a better bottle photo!
Nice and tasty Islay.
