Boja: blijedi jantar.
Aroma: Relativno zatvoren nos; čist i svjež. Nakon nekog vremena pojavi se lagani, začinski “bodljikavac”, koji nadopunjuje voćnu notu: okruglice od jabuka napravljene s domaćom masti i posute muškatnim oraščićem. Uz kap vode, papirnata nota napreduje, spojena toplom kožom i tragom pare.
Okus: Glatka tekstura, slatkast okus i iznenađujuća količina dima u završnici – više dima od ugljena/parnog stroja nego dima od treseta. Neobičan, antikni okus koji dobro drži kap vode, iako je dimljeni element smanjen.
Zanimljivo i malo nostalgično ‘starinski’, pogotovo bez dodatka vode.

Appearance: Pale amber.

Aroma: A relatively closed nose; clean and fresh. After a while a light, spicy prickle emerges, topping a fruity/doughy note: apple dumpling, made with suet and dusted with nutmeg. With a drop of water the paper note advances, joined by warm leatherette and a trace of steam.

Taste: Smooth texture, sweet taste and a surprising amount of smoke in the finish – more coal smoke/steam engine than peat smoke. An unusual, antique taste, which holds up well with a drop of water, although the smoky element is reduced.

Interesting and vaguely ‘old fashioned’, especially without water.

Povijest
Destilerije Gerston – 1796 – 1882 i 1886 – 1914
Priča o Gerston viskiju priča je o dvije destilerije, poznate kao Gerston One i Gerston Two. Gerston One bila je destilerija u obiteljskom vlasništvu na poljoprivrednom gospodarstvu, tipično male proizvodnje, koja je proizvodila visokokvalitetni whisky koji je bio tražen i kod kuće i dalje. Uživali su u njemu u velikom i dobrom londonskom društvu i imali su kupce čak iz od Brazila i Indije. Postojao je više od osamdeset godina, a u obitelji Swanson ostao je gotovo cijelo to vrijeme.
Gerston Two bila je destilerija industrijskog mjerila s kapacitetom od 80.000 litara špirita godišnje. Vlasnici su se nadali da će ponoviti uspjeh viskija iz Gerston One -a izgradnjom nove destilerije, koja je imala kapacitet gotovo deset puta veći od Gerston One -a. Kada je otvoren 1886. godine, bila je to vjerojatno najinovativnija i najsuvremenija destilerija u Škotskoj, i zasigurno najveći destilerija u Caithnessu. Njegov je dizajn iskoristio prirodni pad zemlje koji je gravitaciji omogućio upravljanje procesom i kretanjem tekućina. Proizvodnja u Gerston Two trajala je nešto više od dva desetljeća – nisu uspjeli ponoviti uspjeh i, što je važno, kvalitetu duha koja je prethodno bila povezana s imenom Gerston.
 U prošlom stoljeću gotovo je stotinjak destilerija viskija iz slada zatvoreno ili uništeno. To čini gotovo polovicu svih destilerija koje su ikada postojale u Škotskoj. Globalna ekonomska kriza, prevelika proizvodnja, svjetski ratovi i zabrane doprinijeli su gubitku toliko destilerija. Kao rezultat svih ovih čimbenika, mnogi jedinstveni i cijenjeni brendovi izgubljeni su u svijetu.
History
The Gerston Distilleries – 1796 – 1882 & 1886 – 1914
The story of Gerston whisky is a tale of two distilleries, known as Gerston One and Gerston Two. Gerston One was a family-owned farm- house scale distillery, with a typically small output, making high quality spirit that was in demand both at home and further afield. It was enjoyed by the great and good of London society and had customers as far apart as Brazil and India. It existed for over eighty years, and remained in the Swanson family for nearly all of that time.

Gerston Two was an industrial scale distillery with a capacity of 80,000 gallons of spirit per year. The owners hoped to emulate the success of the whisky from Gerston One by building a new distillery, which had a capacity almost ten times the size of Gerston One. When it was opened in 1886 it was arguably the most innovative and modern distillery in Scotland, and certainly the largest distillery in Caithness. Its design utilised a natural fall in the land, which allowed gravity to govern the process and the movement of liquids. Production at Gerston Two lasted for little over two decades – they were unable to replicate the success and, importantly, quality of spirit previously associated with the Gerston name.

In the last century, almost one hundred of Scotland’s malt whisky distilleries have been closed or destroyed.
This accounts for nearly half of all distilleries that have ever existed in Scotland. Global economic downturn, over-production, world wars and prohibition have all contributed to the loss of so many distilleries.
As a result of all of these factors, many unique and venerable brands have been lost to the world.
