A limited edition 18 year old variation on Douglas Laing's Rock Oyster Island blended malt, made exclusively with whiskies distilled on Arran, Jura, Islay and Orkney. We told ourselves that we wouldn't made a B-52s reference when writing this bottling note, and we're sticking to that promise.
Nose: Full-bodied coastal smoke, with hints of sugared peels and peppery oak underneath.
Palate: A good balance of peat richness and vanilla-forward sweetness. Subtle minerality.
Finish: A burst of heather honey appears late on the finish.

Water brings out the salt, licorice, softer maritime aromas.18 going on 16? 15? Perhaps. But this is certainly a high quality product.Looking very much forward to trying the other RM vattings.

* Mmh, I must amend my notes an modicum to say that I do very much get the presence of [CAOL ILA] here, but with the way this is blended, it comes out as a relatively unpeated version of it. It is in fact just as present as the Highland Park, if not more. Very similar with regards to yellow fruits they are, Caol Ila and Highland Park, if you look beyond the bourbon here, and the sherry there. At least to me.- cola gummies- flintyAr18, HP18, CI18, and without losing out on any of them, if you take your time with it - very good value for money, at least at Master of Malt ;-)

Can't believe I got that wrong initially. Bites your tongue with it. Peat is slightly above main range Highland Park.

Incredible whisky. Transports you immediately to a coastal environment - waves, ocean breeze, slight smoke and a brown sugar sweetness. I will be back for another bottle and keen to try the sherried one too next time. Nom nom nom
