The Rock Island Sherry Edition 14yo is a unique blended malt whisky from the renowned independent bottler Douglas Laing. This whisky is a marriage of carefully selected casks from various island distilleries, including Jura, Arran, Orkney, and Islay, and has been meticulously matured for 14 years in selected sherry casks. The result is a rich and robust whisky with an intense, malty nose, complemented by aromas of dried fruit, spices, caramel, and oak. The palate is smooth and creamy, with notes of vanilla, chocolate, coffee, roasted nuts, and spices, all enriched by a subtle hint of smoke and peat. Bottled at 46.8% ABV, this whisky perfectly embodies the complex and robust flavors typical of island whiskies. The bottle itself is adorned with an elegant design, featuring shades of grey and sea blue, and the label showcases an oyster, symbolizing the treasure found within. This limited edition is a remarkable expression of sherry cask matured single malts from Orkney, Arran, Jura, and Islay, boasting rich notes of raisins, dates, and a whisper of smoke and sea spray.
