Lost Distilleries Gerston 750ml
| Description: | Blended Malt Whisky @46%Vol. Appearance: Full gold. Aroma: Light malt loaf to start, with sultanas and a trace of allspice. After a while a very slight steamy/smoky note, and hints of hard toffee. The smoky/maritime note increases over time, but becomes dirty (exhaust fumes) when water is added. Taste: Smooth texture, sweet taste with smoke in the finish and a mineral twist. Water softens the texture; less sweet but still smoky, and a lingering smokiness in the aftertaste. Comment: The flavour profile is just what you would expect from a 19th Century distillery. Gerston Vintage. Blended Malt Whisky @46%Vol. Appearance: Pale amber. Aroma: A relatively closed nose; clean and fresh, with traces of linen and herbal fabric freshener. Laura Ashley? After a while a light, spicy prickle emerges, topping a fruity/doughy note: apple dumpling, made with suet and dusted with nutmeg. With a drop of water the paper note advances, joined by warm leatherette and a trace of steam. Taste: Smooth texture, sweet taste and a surprising amount of smoke in the finish more coal smoke/steam engine than peat smoke. An unusual, antique taste, which holds up well with a drop of water, although the smoky element is reduced. Comment: Interesting and vaguely old fashioned, especially without water.
