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.
