Introducing the Rock Island Rum Cask Edition DL, a limited edition whisky from Douglas Laing that harmoniously melds the wild, sea-salted character of Scotland's whisky islands with the warm, sun-soaked flavors of the Caribbean. Bottled in 2023, this distinctive spirit, with an ABV of 46.8%, is finished in Plantation Rum Casks, predominantly from the Caribbean island of Arran, achieving a depth of character that is both bold and refined.
Each sip unveils exquisite marine aromas, complemented by delicate smoke and a subtle iodine note. The collaboration with French bottler Plantation enriches the whisky with notes of salted caramel, peach, and pineapple, creating a vibrant symphony of flavors. This whisky transcends the ordinary, offering not just a drink, but a sensory journey. From the meticulous selection of malts from islands like Jura and Orkney to the final exquisite product, this whisky stands as a tribute to the excellence of the Scottish isles.
Rock Island Rum Cask Edition DL is a true masterpiece, perfect for collectors and whisky enthusiasts alike. It seamlessly bridges the gap between Scottish tradition and Caribbean flair, providing an experience that is both familiar and exotic. This limited edition is not just a whisky; it’s a tribute to the spirit of discovery.

Having tasted the Rock Island Rum Cask Edition DL at the Whiskyfestival in Waregem, Belgium, I found it to be a sweet and highly drinkable whisky with prominent tropical fruit notes. Although my palate might have been slightly compromised due to the extensive tasting lineup, the whisky presented a unique balance of smokiness and sweetness. It's a good entry-level whisky, though it might come across as a bit watery and flat for those seeking a more robust profile.
