Douglas Laing Rock Island Sherry Edition Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 46.8%
A Maritime Whisky Crafted from Scotland’s Finest Islands
Douglas Laing Rock Island Sherry Edition is a beautifully balanced blended malt Scotch whisky that captures the true spirit of Scotland’s rugged islands. Carefully crafted from Single Cask Single Malts distilled on Islay, Arran, Jura, and Orkney, this small batch release delivers a distinctive maritime character with a refined sherried depth. Each island contributes its own personality, resulting in a whisky that is both complex and harmonious.
Exclusively Matured in Spanish Sherry Casks
What sets this expression apart is its exclusive maturation in premium Spanish sherry casks. These casks impart rich layers of sweetness and spice, enhancing the whisky’s natural coastal smokiness. As a result, every sip reveals a sophisticated interplay between sweet sherry influence and gentle peat smoke. Bottled at 46.8% ABV, this whisky is presented without chill-filtration or added colouring, preserving its authentic flavour and natural character.
Rich and Layered Tasting Experience
On the nose, expect inviting aromas of raisins, toasted brown sugar, sea spray, and hints of cured meats. The palate opens with soft peat smoke and salted crackers, which gradually evolve into notes of strawberry jam and warming stem ginger. As the whisky develops, flavours of smoked bacon, buttered toast, and spiced sweetness emerge, adding depth and intrigue. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering salted caramel, cinnamon, mocha, and a subtle earthy touch.
Perfect for Whisky Enthusiasts and Food Pairing
This limited edition release is ideal for those who appreciate peated whisky with a sweet twist. Its maritime profile pairs exceptionally well with seafood, especially oysters and shellfish, enhancing both the drink and the dish. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, Rock Island Sherry Edition delivers a memorable tasting experience every time.
