Aerstone 10 Year "Land Cask" & "Sea Cask" Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- The same lowland distillery, the same mash bill, the same age - one bottling unpeated, aged on the coast; the other with peat, aged inland. How do they stack up?
Thanks to Robert McGrath & Jill Malcolm for the bottles. Cheers ya MB!
I think it speaks absolute volumes about your integrity that it took someone literally about to lose their job for y'all to finally monetize. That's some classy shit fellas. I damn near guarantee we all support it, bring on the ads!
Agreed
PLEASE be sure to monetize all the prior episodes as well. I plan on leaving a master playlist running of all your episodes to help generate revenue once y'all flip the switch. Thanks for all the hard work guys.
Good idea.
you prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Harry Adriel Instablaster :)
@Iker Crew I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Iker Crew it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
I am happy to see that my 1776 is still hanging out... Good Day all you MB's... :)
You are one of the few channels i turn my ad blocker off for.
I fully support what you do.
Thank you for the knowledge and entertainment
Looked up "Aerstone" last night and this reveiw was the1st thing that popped up, I watch you guys all the time. My usual shop was closed was going to pick up a bottle of Ardbeg 10 so I went to my back-up store and they dont carry Ardbeg, however they had this Aerstone, bought a bottle of the Land Cask. Sipped while watching yalls reveiw. Gotta say for a $30 bottle I was pleasently suprised. Peaty and smokey, not very complex but I found it interesting. Thank you guys. Monitze!!
The price is what makes it worth while. I love Islay scotches but spending $50+ is something I can't always do. I get Aerstone for $27 and it satisfies my Petey craving I get. If it was $40 or more I wouldn't get it.
@@lichazeakel1126 Yes, I wish they'd review it for what it is, a budget priced alternative, rather than comparing it to a probably $70-$100 crafted malt.
I absolutely love the sea cask one. It’s absolutely delicious.
Tried the sea cask for the first time today. Absolutely loved it.
You know, here in South Africa we get these Aerstones at 43% and I suspect the extra 3% really makes the difference. This is really a helluva a whisky at the price. I love it.
3:00 in, no longer any doubt that Dan is GOAT editor. *I mean, he won me over with the "funk" bass note 🤩
I mean, I think they just found the song for the bottle lords.
👏👏👏👏 yes for Fancy Dan and his editing skills
Yess, the funk noise is back
Right now would be a great time for me to hit the lottery because I swear I'd without question send you guys a million dollars to keep everything going if I had it on hand. Might have only discovered you about a month ago and might _ABHOR_ alcohol, but there's something about watching two people so passionate about what they're into that the Internet needs. I really hope the ads do help keep things going.
The more I watch these guys the more I like them. Not only for the humor and whiskey but now for putting adds in to save someone’s job. I hate adds and skip all the time. On here I will not skip Adds out of sheer principle.
A bottle I actually have at home :O Thanks for the review guys!
Also, this is one of the cheapest bottles of single malt i can get here in the Netherlands, bought it on discount for 20€.
(All hail Ardbeg)
Hail!
Haha heb deze ook voor 20 euro gekocht, de Land Cask dan. Ben niet zo fan, heb veel liever een Finlaggan voor 't geld als ik zin heb in peat
Blessed are the angels Uigedail and Corryvreckan
Theeeeeeeeeerrreee it is, this is one I was looking for! Just bought a bottle of Sea Cask today!
Taking care of employees/team members is critical to a positive company culture and definitely has a huge impact on products and services rendered to the public. Do what you must to help your folks, gents!
fancy dan's music choice was spot on
I'm all for monetization! You guys have brought so much joy and whisk(e)y knowledge to my life, watching a few ads is the least I could do!
I picked up the Land Cask a couple weeks ago and was really hit by that aftertaste that sticks around. I have never had that in a scotch before. Definitely interesting and unique to me. After a couple sips, I was fine with it. When I bought that one, I saw the Sea Cask next to it, and just picked it up a few days ago. Much milder in flavor and I actually prefer that one. Both are quite affordable here in the Kansas City area for around $30 or so.
AWESOME! Just saw these in my local store a couple days ago for $30 each and thought they looked awesome/interesting... and here you are to answer all my questions lol
Why do I get the sense you had a few drams prior to this video....haha
They do multiple shoots in one day, you can see the previous bottle on the front of table, and glasses.
might have something to do with the bottle and 2 glasses in front of them that is not in this video....lol
They film all 5 episodes for the week in a row
Nah, I'm pretty sure they're still floating through time and space via Cosmic Bunghole Magic. You can't film 5 in 1 day when time means nothing.
Its rex over the top reaction 🤣🥓, and we all love bacon.
Just got the sea cask for £18 from a local shop.... can't wait
Just got a bottle of sea cask for my birthday and will enjoy a couple of 'wee' drams tonight, can't wait!😁
Rex's "I am pleased!" sound is like a baby goat having a poo.
Proud to see you guys taking care of your own by using ads. I support this and I think everyone else should too. Maybe to go a bit further, Rex can get a sponsor tattooed across his forehead.
I have to say, I love the little FUNK graphic.
Sea cask loved it,Land cask great distain for.But always like to hear your guys thoughts.
i love aerstone ...especially the land (smokey) one .. super underrated .. great price ...
Man I use to watch you guy every day before the pandemic not sure what happens to TH-cam algorithms. Just stoped popping up on my page . Hope you guys are doing well 👍
Loved the Daniel Barry White moment..
Frist time I got my hand on Aerstone was the Sea Cask for 14€ (17€ price tag with a discount). I didn't expected much but for the money it's just a no brainer. I religeously kept the bottle for months to be able to share it as the kinda hidden cheap gem. Now that the product starts to sell it's more around 20€ here but it's still a definitive bang for the buck (especially the sea cask that has this nicely balanced salty/briney feel on the tongue, while the land cask might have more competition in this price range).
I am obsessed with that pepper note in scotch. It’s so evasive and I’m not sure what part of the process makes that note come alive. I really would love to pin point it.
I had this one exactly one year ago, I brought a bottle to a wedding of two good friends! It said "smooth" on the bottle so I thought it'd be good for non whiskey drinkers.
🎸What do you get when Steve Tyler forms a band with Keith Richards? Aerstone! 🎸
This is the first time I've ever gotten THC vibes from Rex.
True :)
A few months back he talked about a "close call" transporting a work client's weed baggie and it sounded like a pretty nerve-wracking experience for him. It's very illegal in Texas and while that might not stop everyone, I believe he said his wife made him flush it down the toilet rather immediately. It's funny how THC-inspired his humor can seem sometimes, though!
Bringing the Joy. Monetize this stuff. Cheers.
I wish Rex would wait for Daniel to finish explaining the product before he dives in to smell it. I love the channel just a pet peeve.
Are you new here?
Just picked up a bottle of the land cask today for 12$ after my employee discount major steal. Never been into whiskey of any kind and between this I plan on getting some toki japanese whiskey axe and oak bourbon and some bonded bourbon who's name I can't remember. My store bought them all in bulk at a major discount so we pass that savings to the customer im gonna pay maybe 60 bucks in total for all 4 bottles
If someone has a problem with the skippable adds are they really MB Material?
If you need adds to keep people employed, then DO IT! I support you!
Dan's movement, it seams pretty true to him. 😆.
Rex swinging a sock at animals vs no sock just cap 🤣.
I saw these in the store a few days ago and because of the price was really considering purchasing one, but didn't know anything about them (until now), but ultimately balked due to the 40%ABV.
I found that it wasn't Ocean Air I was getting but more of a larger lake air. Like a like Michigan, or a larger Mountain Lake. With fresh water seaweed. Or river seaweed. Like the mist over a water fall...
totally agree, Overcast and foggy.
The sea cask tastes like what pine trees next to a misty overcast mountain lake looks like. It has about 3 notes, pepper, salt water, & mild tabacco.
For the price I find them in UK supermarkets. I like both. The peated one edges it though.
These Aerstone whiskies are definately very cheap. €20,- in the Netherlands (comparison: Lagavulin 16 is €55,- to 70,-, Balvenie 12y doublewood is €40,-). They're probably the cheapest single malts available in the Netherlands. Cheaper than entry level Glenfiddich/Glenlivet etc.
I'm a bit shocked that Rex didn't mix both of the Aerstone offerings together into a new whiskey...
See I was enjoying playing them off of each other and then I read this. At first you could tell they were mixed then after about 15 minutes it tasted like a more complete scotch.
Rock in the cork is probably granite from Ailsa Craig...where all Curling Stones originate from!
this is made 20 mins drive from my home. on offer at supermarket it is £23 right now. at that price is is well worth buying. no idea what it sells overseas for.
not gonna lie....I just literally opened a bottle of Sea cask, took a sip straight.... wasn't overly impressed. Drop of water in it.......wow it really opens it up.
Sat here sipping the sea cask for the first time ever.
Just discovered it.
sO FAR DESPITE THE NICE OILY LOOK ON THE GLASS IT'S THIN AND VERY ONE DIMENSIONAL.
For the price you can't complain about Aerstone. Ardbeg and Laphroig are over $50 here and I can't always afford that. But when I am craving something petey I can get Aerstone for $27 and it is good enough to satisfy that craving.
oh funky thing,
now i'm hungry!!!
THE PLEASINGS!!!!
Land cask apart from a citrus note all I seem to taste is smoke. Not overly keen but don't hate it either so will finish the bottle.
So you got me excited about Ailsa Bay, but it turns out it's not available in Oregon. I went to their website, and was disappointed in the amount of BS they have there. Thanks for at least teaching me how to spot whiskey BS!
Whiskey noob here, started drinking whiskey back in March and may have a couple glasses a month. I’ve noticed that I get nightmares after. I have very vivid dreams anyway, but a glass of Wild Turkey 101 had me getting mauled by a wolf in my sleep. Any other side effects amongst the MBs?
3mins in and you already have my upvote. Take it you saucy bastards.
Yes, the funk edit is back
I won’t even skip your ad if it helps
Amazing whisky for just 20 euro's per bottle in the netherlands
These episodes are looking like they are becoming a more of a beast to edit. #IStandwithFancyDan
Hello guys. Is the Sea cask very much like the Old Pulteney 12 ?
Good morning tribe
Have you guys thought of doing a Patreon for the Whiskey Vault? I know you have one for the Whiskey Tribe
I am all for ads on the channel. Because it is for great reasoning.
Is there a higher monetary amount that goes to channel if you watch the full ad? If so, all you MB just let the ad run so they get the max $ to save someone from going on the unemployment line! Cheers!!!
Daniel, do I dare say, are you wearing puma fast cats in black? How bold and fashion forward
I'M PLEASED! Aaaaaaaaah
I'd love to know what the different "categories" of peat are: briny, camp fire, etc.
Honestly guys... Run all the ads you need to make money. We understand....
For finland standards its very affordable 40€ compared same sized bottle of jameson 36€
Rex didn’t even read the comments on this episode? There goes all hope that they’ll say my name in this episode!
Daniel Whittington, you Titan of Whiskey....queue the music.
Haha yeah great guys 🤘🏻
im sold. im so sold i bought both 😂
Good Morning Gentlemen.
I want the barrel char of a bourbon but with a heavy smokiness, any suggestions?
One of my all-time favorites, Ardbeg Corryvreckan!
I love the show. Great content. You bastards😄
If you have a Patreon account, post the link on the description under the video.
Fancy Dan is good!
HELLO THERE!
Hi😁🖖
Hey
"Ailsa Bay wipes theese out completely"...i will never know it, because at Moscow it x4 times more expensive then Aerstone, so i'll keep enjoy land cask, silently crying about how amazing Ailsa Bay probably is
Feels like Rex has slowly started to contribute more to the channel lately and more of the tasting notes seem to be his input. What's next? Rex brings in a bottle for the Somm to taste? The so called master mooch being tempted by the dark side? Stay in your lane #sexyrexy
Shuddap and turn on ads already! We don't mind!
Could the Air Cask be thing, & if so how?
If the proof point was any lower, it'd pretty much be an air cask.
I really enjoy the salty scotches.
You guys are fucking awesome! Do whatever but just don't go away. Question- have you ever tried wiskey aged coffee? Check out Oak and Bond coffee company. Thanks for the entertaining reviews and hilarious shenanigans,
FIFTH... 1.75... Whatever it takes.
good morning MB's
Can you try to get whisk(e)y ads?
Grant, the same folks who make Glenfidich and Grants blended - it aint bad, but at 40% it is a bit Meh, not a bad wee dram
Every time you guys review a 40%ABV I know you're gonna crap on it for being too thin.
Compared the land cask to Trader Joe’s islay storm. Great noise, thin taste
When I grow up I wanna be you guys.
Scratch and sniff whiskey? I think that's already been done. lol
20 bucks per bottle a good price?
Also, yes totally, monetize the content! At this point it's good enough to stand on it's own
It's disgusting tbh, the smokiness just overwhelms, I threw the bottle away.
Hey guys, you wearing the same shirts as yesterday video??? Common...at least switch shirt with one another...
Whiskey mornings
Run those ads i got youtube premium which from what i understand gives more per ad then watching them. Also can we talk about the movie where the red fern grows? I watched it in school pretty young and a kid died along with the 2 dogs. Like tha fk?
Should never let another man shoot your dog
Hooo yyyaaaah 😆
