About This Whisky

Rock Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl 46.8%

The Rock Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is a maritime-inspired expression from the award-winning Douglas Laing & Co., expertly combining single malts from Scotland's famous whisky islands to create a bold, smoky and beautifully balanced dram. Bottled at 46.8% ABV, this premium blended malt Scotch whisky celebrates the distinctive coastal character of Islay, Jura, Arran and Orkney.

Formerly known as Rock Oyster, Rock Island is crafted using only single malt Scotch whiskies, with no grain whisky included. The result is an exceptionally complex whisky that perfectly captures the maritime influence of Scotland's islands, delivering layers of sea salt, peat smoke, citrus, honey and gentle spice.

Whether you're an Islay whisky enthusiast, a collector of Douglas Laing releases or simply looking to explore one of Scotland's finest island whiskies, Rock Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky offers an unforgettable tasting experience.


Scotland's Island Whisky Character

Rock Island brings together carefully selected single malts from some of Scotland's most celebrated island distilleries, including Islay, Jura, Arran and Orkney.

Each island contributes its own distinctive personality:

  • Islay adds rich peat smoke and coastal salinity.
  • Jura contributes gentle spice and soft fruit.
  • Arran provides fresh citrus, vanilla and orchard fruit.
  • Orkney delivers delicate heathery smoke, honey and malt sweetness.

Together they create a wonderfully balanced maritime whisky that showcases the diversity of Scotland's island whisky tradition.


Natural Presentation

Rock Island is bottled at 46.8% ABV, allowing the whisky's full character to shine through.

Like all Douglas Laing Regional Malts, it is presented:

  • Non-chill filtered

About Douglas Laing and Co

Douglas Laing and Co Distillery

Douglas Laing & Co. is one of Scotland's most respected independent Scotch whisky bottlers and blenders. Founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing in Glasgow, the family-owned company has spent over 75 years sourcing, maturing and bottling exceptional Scotch whisky from some of Scotland's most prestigious distilleries.

Unlike traditional whisky distilleries, Douglas Laing does not own or operate a production distillery for the majority of its history. Instead, it has built its reputation by selecting outstanding casks from renowned Scottish distilleries and releasing them under its celebrated independent bottling ranges. (In recent years, Douglas Laing has established Strathearn Distillery in Perthshire, marking its move into whisky production.)

Douglas Laing is internationally recognised for its commitment to natural presentation, with many whiskies bottled at natural colour, without chill filtration, and often at cask strength, allowing whisky enthusiasts to experience each expression as naturally as possible.

The company is particularly famous for its Remarkable Regional Malts collection, which celebrates Scotland's whisky-producing regions through expertly crafted blended malts. Iconic expressions include Big Peat (Islay), Scallywag (Speyside), Timorous Beastie (Highlands), Rock Island (Scotland's Islands), Epicurean (Lowlands) and The Gauldrons (Campbeltown). Each expression is made exclusively from single malt Scotch whiskies, with no grain whisky added.

In addition to its regional malts, Douglas Laing is highly regarded for its Old Particular and XOP (Xtra Old Particular) ranges, which feature carefully selected single cask bottlings from some of Scotland's rarest and most sought-after distilleries. These limited-edition releases are prized by collectors and whisky enthusiasts for their authenticity, rarity and exceptional quality.

Today, Douglas Laing & Co. remains one of the leading names in independent Scotch whisky, combining traditional family values with decades of expertise in cask selection and maturation. Its award-winning portfolio continues to showcase the diversity and excellence of Scotch whisky, making Douglas Laing a trusted name among collectors and whisky lovers worldwide.
