Celebrating the Chinese Year of the Dragon in 2024, namely the Wood Dragon, this rare limited edition of Rock Island blended Scotch whisky was finished in heavily charred ‘crocodile’ casks, a name given to the wood when it is so fiercely charred its texture is reminiscent of an alligator or crocodile's skin. This marriage of single malts distilled on Orkney, Arran, Jura and Islay from Douglas Laing was bottled at 54.8% ABV with no colour added and no chill-filtration.
Experience ashy bonfire embers, grilled pineapple, and soft peat smoke on the nose.
Anticipate waves of sea-salt, caramelised sugar, and BBQ'd banana.
The finish has remnants of smoke with brown sugar, coconut, and salted caramel.
This is a blend of various regional malts,upon initial tasting,very good,later tasting,not so good,all flavors present and correct, just trying to please or tempt palettes to expand tastebuds.I don't know,other than I cannot fault the blend,just not to my taste.
