- Description
- Rock Island's blended malt combines whiskies from across the islands, bottled at a robust 56.1% ABV for this second cask strength release. Coastal character dominates with briny maritime notes and a saline edge that frames the underlying malt sweetness. The high proof delivers a full, gripping texture with a persistent finish. A bold island blend for those seeking intensity and salinity without peat's dominance.
