Douglas Laing - Rock Island 14 y.o. Sherry

Douglas Laing has updated the name of its famous Island Blended Malt bottling from 'Rock Oyster' to 'Rock Island' without changing the award-winning content. Rock Island brings together selected single malts from the Scottish islands of Islay, Arran, Jura and Orkney, giving it distinctive smoky notes, sweetness and maritime flavors. As part of the Remarkable Regional Malts series, Rock Island symbolizes the diversity and quality of Scotland's malt whisky regions.

The special Rock Island 14 Years Old Sherry Edition complements the taste profile with the nuances created by maturation in sherry casks. This maturation method gives the whisky a rich and robust character that combines the island whiskies with the complexity and depth of the sherry casks, making it a special addition to whisky collections.

This edition is characterized by its naturalness, as it is free from added colorants and does not undergo chill filtration.
