- Description
- Douglas Laing's Rock Island blended malt brings together peated malts from Islay, Arran, Jura, and Orkney, unified by a final maturation in Spanish sherry butts. The spirit balances coastal smoke and salinity with dried fruit sweetness, warming spice, and subtle oak influence. The texture is rich and layered with a medium-length finish. A sophisticated, regionally diverse blend that suits those seeking complexity without overwhelming peat dominance.
