Lost Distillery Archivist Gerston 70Cl

Volume: 700 ML. Place of Origin: SCOTLAND 

Gerston Distillery was a family-owned farm-house scale distillery, with typically small output, making a high-quality spirit that was in demand both at home and further afield. Whisky was supplied in cask to merchants, private individuals, and to local landowners, including Lord Thurso of Thurso Castle. It was most likely the aforementioned Thurso who introduced Gerston Whisky to prominent politicians of the day – including Sir Robert Peel, who was Prime Minister from 1841 to 1846. Other notable consumers of Gerston were the Duke of Wellington, the Bank of England, the Army and Navy Club in London, and the Archbishop of York.

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.
