Aerstone

Salty air, toasted oak, and a little bonfire swagger, this 10-year single malt from Scotland is made to scratch that coastal whisky itch. Sea-side cask ageing gives it a briny edge, then the sweetness kicks in with vanilla and honeyed cereal. It’s bold without being a bully, and it plays nicely whether you’re new to single malt or already deep in the rabbit hole!
