Gerston Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Bottle size

This whisky was recreated in the style of Gerston Distillery, a Highlands producer shuttered in the early 20th century and formerly celebrated throughout London, India and Brazil. The Lost Distillery Gerston Malt Scotch Whisky is a recreation of a single malt whisky distilled at Gerston Distillery, which existed in two iterations — Gerston One (1796-1882), which was a small, family-sized operation that nonetheless gained customers throughout London, India and Brazil, and Gerston Two (1886-1914), which was more of an industrial scale operation with ten times the production capacity of Gerston One. While Gerston Two could never quite emulate the success of its predecessor — ultimately Gerston Two was demolished in in 1914 — the Gerston name will forever be remembered for its excellent quality and early popularity in the style of lightly peated, malted barley now synonymous with the Highlands region in Scotland.…

About the brand

The Lost Distillery Company was established by former Diageo employees Scott Watson and Brian Woods in 2013 as a subsidiary brand of Crucial Drinks (the trading name of LDC Scotland Ltd). The pair established a working relationship with Professor Michael Moss of Glasgow University, who led a team of archivists to make an educated guess as to the whisky character of a handful of lost distilleries. Over the last century, nearly 100 distilleries have closed down due to financial hardship or neglect. The Kilmarnock-based company currently has permission to produce modern interpretations of whiskies from 20 closed distilleries. Each production run is small, at around 800 cases. In 2016 the company moved premises from the Olympic Business Park in Kilmarnock to Cumnock’s Dumfries House, a 2,000-acre estate restored by the duke of Rothesay in 2007.
