Aerolite Lyndsay is an anagram—'ten year old Islay'—and that playful naming hints at the whisky's character. Produced by The Character of Islay, a subsidiary of Atom Brands (the company behind Master of Malt and That Boutique-y Whisky Company), this is a blended malt sourced from one of Islay's established distilleries. The name itself invites you to solve the puzzle.

The spirit was matured in ex-bourbon casks and ex-sherry casks, including quarter casks. This dual cask approach balances Islay's signature smoky, peaty character with maritime notes, while maintaining an accessible profile at 46% ABV.

On the palate, malty and roasted notes emerge alongside sherried warmth. The finish is dry and persistent, with a light smokiness that anchors it firmly to the island. This is a whisky for those seeking Islay's peaty identity without overwhelming intensity.
