Lifestyle Tops brings us "Whiskey" of the week - Aerotude - Beachside Days
Aerotude: The Story Behind the Whisky
Origins of Aerotude
Aerotude was born in the skies, inspired by its founder, David Dobson, a pilot who combined his love for whisky with the flavors of his global travels. His vision was to break whisky stereotypes, creating a drink that is easy to enjoy and versatile for a wider audience.
The name "Aerotude"is derived from the words Aeroplane and Attitude. In aviation, attitude refers to the orientation of an aircraft in relation to the horizon, but it also reflects a person’s way of thinking—making it a clever play on words. Aerotude is crafted for the rule breakers, those who dare to challenge the norm.
The Launch Range
The Aerotude launch range offers a Taste of Cape Town, featuring four unique variants:
- Beachside Days
- Ruby Spice
- Fynbosity
- The Original Flyer
Additionally, Aerotude has introduced "Karoo Kiss", a 100% Karoo Agave spirit.
Spotlight on Beachside Days
Currently the bestselling whisky spirit aperitif, "Beachside Days" is known for its smooth and refreshing profile. It is infused with "Naartjie, Pineapple, and Ginger", making it the "Ladies' Choice". This variant pairs well with tonic (similar to a Gin & Tonic) or lemonade, though many also enjoy it neat due to its smoothness.
How to Enjoy Beachside Days
Aerotude embraces the philosophy:
"Shake It, Mix It, Share It – Whisky Your Way!"
Beachside Days can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed with tonic or lemonade for a refreshing twist.
Crafting Aerotude
Aerotude’s range is made using a "3-Year Single Grain Whisky", meaning the whisky comes from a single distillery. The maturation process involves finishing the whisky in "American Medium Toast Oak Casks". For "The Original Flyer", the whisky undergoes an additional finishing process in "French Oak, Cape Brandy, and Sherry Casks", enhancing its smoothness and flavor complexity.
Behind the Scenes
Aerotude is proudly produced in "Woodstock, Cape Town". The brand remains committed to authenticity, infusing its whisky with "only natural ingredients", ensuring no artificial flavors are used. Radio Life & Style on Facebook · The Morning Show Sponsor: Excellerate Security
