Lost Distillery recreates close approximations of whisky from distilleries that have long been mothballed for various (usually economic) reasons, but with extensive documented evidence about them in tact. Gerston existed as two separate distilleries - from 1796-1882 as a well respected small scale operation owned by the Swanson family, and then from 1886-1914 as a large scale commercial facility producing 80,000 gallons per year - in the northern area of Halkirk in Caithness. Gerston One was a peated malt, likely aged in ex-rum casks, while evidence suggests Gerston Two was unpeated. This tasting note refers to the Deluxe and not the Vintage release of this blended malt.

I think this is a wonderful dram for introducing people to peaty whisky. Nose: oak spice with orange peel, a bit of vanilla, and mild campfire smoke. Palate: oily texture that really fills up the mouth. Notes of oak spice, orange and also green fruits, and the smoke is not as noticeable as on the nose. Finish: dry but lingering vanilla and slight spice.
Nose: peat, fresh, herbal Palate: spices, peat, creamy Finish: spices, mouth covering, ash With some water: more peaty, less herbal, some sweetness
Smokey, rich, and sweet. Big fan
