A miniature of Rock Oyster – Douglas Laing's blended malt based on whiskies from the Islands, specifically Jura, Islay, Arran and Orkney
Prise open a rock oyster and you’d be lucky indeed to find a pearl. The real treasure though is the hidden, tasty delicacy.
Bottled at 46.8% alcohol strength and traditionally without colouring or chill-filtration, this Small Batch bottling has a truly maritime and oceanic character of sea-salt, sweet peat, smoke, honey and pepper.
Containing the finest Malt Whiskies from Scotland’s Whisky islands, including those distilled on Islay, Arran, Orkney and Jura, it’s no wonder Master Blender Fred Laing says “If I could select just one dram to transport the Whisky enthusiast to the Islands of Scotland, it would be this Rock Oyster."
As ever from Douglas Laing, this tasty, coastal dram is very handsomely presented from top to bottom and bottled at a satisfying 46.8% ABV.
Nose: Anticipate wave soaked rocks and a salty oceanic, fresh influence. A hint of peat smoke, and an enticing sweetness.
Palate: An initially subtle palate that carries soft and rather sweet peat paralleled with smoke, honey, damp ash and develops with liquorice and late pepper.
Finish: The maritime is neatly replicated on the long, moreish finish.
