Their story

Aerstone is a single malt brand from William Grant & Sons, the family company behind Glenfiddich and The Balvenie. It is distilled at the company's site in Girvan, on the Ayrshire coast of southwest Scotland, home also to the Ailsa Bay distillery.

The brand launched in 2018 with a simple idea: make single malt easier to choose. Instead of tasting notes full of jargon, each bottle tells you plainly what to expect.

How it's made

Both whiskies are aged 10 years. Sea Cask is a smooth, Speyside-style malt aged in warehouses near the coast, which gives it a light salty note. Land Cask is made with highland peat and aged further inland for a richer, smoky profile.

We have developed two very different and evocative flavour profiles under the one brand

Why we carry them

We like Aerstone for anyone trying to figure out whether they prefer smooth or smoky Scotch. Pour one of each side by side and you'll know.
