Douglas Laing
Scotland
Douglas Laing's Rock Island bottles the epitome of the Scottish Islands. The blend marries a plethora of Island whiskies, with malts from Islay, Arran, Orkney and Jura. The whisky has been bottled at a rather specific 46.8% ABV, and of course without colouring or chillfiltration. If you think this sounds all a bit familiar, the blended malt was previously dubbed 'Rock Oyster', though the name was changed because it turns out there's an awful lot of people who don't like oysters. Not to worry, it's the exact same great maritime whisky!
Wind-swept beaches, coastal peat and a hint of ash, complimented by touches of green fruit.
Yet more sea breeze, with oat cake crumbs, growing spicy notes of cracked black pepper and a deft whiff of peat smoke. Hints of vanilla here and there.
Salinity lasts on the finish along with peppery warmth.
Loads of character with smokiness and vanilla tones
Wow! Got this on day 2 of my MoM whisky advent calendar and...it...was...beautiful! Light coloured, salty, peaty whisky with a slight finish of vanilla. Honestly can't believe this from a blend and at this price. 100% ordering a bottle in the new year when I've worked my way through my current MoM stash and will be buying as a gift for friends and family in the future too.
Day 2 of the 2020 advent calendar has been a pleasure. The nose is like a bag of Walkers Cheese and Onion crisps to me (is that weird?!). Lots of pepper on the palate and in the finish. This whisky surpassed my expectations.
This is great blend of malts, light smoke (not in the Ardbeg/Lagavulin styles!). Really surprised by this blend.
A lot to taste.
