£45.99

More Details
Main highlights
- SMOOTH 40% ABV & BALANCED DRINKING EXPERIENCE Bottled at 40% ABV to deliver powerful smoke without overpowering harshness. Easy to enjoy neat, in highball serves, or paired with dark chocolate and smoked meats. A versatile whisky suitable for both newcomers and seasoned peat drinkers.
- RICH & SMOKY CAMPBELTOWN-STYLE PROFILE Expect bold peat smoke layered with warm spice, oak, and subtle sweetness. Smokiness arrives first, wrapping the palate before revealing light vanilla, toasted grain, and charred wood undertones. The long finish is warming and bold, perfect for peat lovers and collectors.
- PERFECT GIFT PRESENTATION SET Premium packaging includes two Aerstone branded whisky glasses, ideal for serving neat or over ice. Beautiful display layout makes this an excellent choice for birthdays, anniversaries, Father’s Day, or corporate gifting. A ready-to-present gift pack for whisky enthusiasts.
- LAND CASK MATURATION Aged for 10 years in casks matured on the Scottish mainland, delivering a robust and earthy character. The unique climate and warehouse environment create a smokier, more intense profile than coastal whiskies. Developed to highlight the influence of land-based maturation on taste and texture.
- CRAFTSMANSHIP BY WILLIAM GRANT & SONS Produced by the historic family-owned distillers behind Glenfiddich and Balvenie. Created to offer two distinct whisky experiences — Land Cask (Rich & Smoky) and Sea Cask (Smooth & Easy). Represents more than 130 years of Scottish distilling knowledge and heritage.
