Reviews for Rock Oyster 18 Year Old
NOT Islay, no Islay, do not mention Islay
Those who imagine this contains Ardbeg, Caol Ila etc are deluded - this is ISLAND not ISLAY. So can only be Orkney, Arran, Jura.
From very poor casks.

Rich, buttery. Sherry spices, mature soft fruit. Salty. Savory peat. Age comes through with time in the glass. Fusty, a fully matured 18YO.

+ bananas, banana peels. touch of tutti fruitti, from the Jura. Loses a bit of peat (about two and a half weeks in), especially on the nose, but gains fruity fullness. Whipped cream. Birthday cake. Milk chocolate.
Also loses saltiness.
Would not recommend water in newly opened bottle, but would very much recommend at this point. Half a teaspoon.

Whipped Cream Peach Gâteau!!
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.

finishing up my notes, a thought -
* So, I'm sitting here finishing my notes, and I smells the empty glass, and by Jove! is that not the all so familiar Ardbeg spinach! Ardbeg 18!

I'm telling you, man . .
