Rock Island (Douglas Laing)

Description

Brand: Douglas Laing
Category: Whisky
Type: Blended Malt
Region: Scotland
Strength: 46.8% alc/vol

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. Rich with a smoky and maritime character.

Tasting notes:
Nose: As fresh and invigorating as a walk on the seafront. Briney, cough sweets, liquorice, and fresh herbs (sage and rosemary).
Palate: Richer than expected, with warming notes of black pepper, sea salt and ozone, as well as a hint of honeyed fruit. Good weight.
