- Description
- Douglas Laing's Rock Island collection expands with this island-hopping blended malt, drawing single casks from Orkney, Arran, Jura, and Islay before finishing in tequila casks. The combination creates an unconventional marriage of Scotch tradition with agave influence, adding herbal and spiced complexity to maritime and earthy base notes. This is for the adventurous drinker willing to explore unexpected cask influences.
