- Description
- Rock Island's blended malt merges the peaty, maritime punch of Islay and Arran malts with the sweetness and body of sherry cask maturation. The marriage of peat smoke and rich red fruit is the defining tension—saline notes from island character push against the buttery, dried-fruit warmth of the sherry influence. Textural weight and a long, smoky finish make it memorable. An approachable entry point for those curious about sherry-matured peated Scotch.
