About this bottle
The Lost Distillery Company's Gerston Archivist is a blended malt Scotch whisky built to recreate the character of Gerston, a distillery in Halkirk, in the far-northern Highland region of Caithness, that closed in the 19th century and left no surviving stock. Using historical records and production details from the original distillery, the company blends existing malt whiskies to approximate what Gerston would have tasted like. Expect a Highland profile — heather, honey, and light smoke, with a gentle maltiness rather than the bigger peat of neighboring Islay-style whiskies. Bottled at 46% ABV, free from chill filtration. An interesting bottle for whisky history buffs and blended malt drinkers alike, built around a story rather than a distillery you can still visit.
How to drink Lost Distillery Gerston Archivist
Neat or with a few drops of water is the way to go — the gentle maltiness and light smoke are easy to lose under ice. It also holds up fine in a Rob Roy if you want a Highland spin on a Manhattan.

Serve neat or with a few drops of water in a tulip glass; blended malts like this are meant to be sipped slowly rather than served over heavy ice, which can mute their aromatics.
