- Description
- Douglas Laing's Island blend combining single malts from Jura, Islay, Arran, and Orkney at 46.8%, formerly bottled as Rock Oyster. The blend layers smoky peat and maritime character across a broader palate than any single island could provide, with spice and subtle sweetness balancing the smoke. Medium-bodied with a warming, lingering finish. A fine introduction to Island whiskies and a reliable daily dram for those enjoying smoky complexity.
