Rock Oyster Sherry Edition
Described by bottler Douglas Laing as the "lip-smacking success story of the magic that can happen when sweet meets peat", Rock Oyster Scotch blended malt pairs Island salt-citrus character with the richness of sherry butts. A nautical theme presides over the handsome bottle and label, which we also enjoy.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Its sweetly peated nature is immediately apparent, along with heaps of dark fruit.
Palate
Sea salt whipped up on a sea breeze, warm Christmas spices, a cereal quality and that gentle peat smoke. Tasty.
Finish
Long and saline, balanced with those dark fruits.
Overall
A complex drop - sweet and peat are a match made in heaven.
