Douglas laing rock oyster review.

Back in april douglas laing re branded the islands expression of its remarkable regional malt range as rock island. In 2018 douglas laing rebranded its rock oyster whisky to rock island. Douglas laings rock oyster is comprised of single malts distilled on scottish islands including orkney jura arran and islay. Douglas laing rock oyster image via douglas laing rock oyster has the distinction of being a blended malt meaning the whisky in the bottle is the product of blending whiskies which begin their lives as single malts from individual distilleries without the introduction of other grain whiskies.

Certainly like to keep things in the family and that includes the family of rock oyster whisky that just keeps on growing now with the release of rock oyster batch 2 cask strength edition. Apparently oysters have a negative connotation to some people and they feared it put off consumers. All are bottled at 46 8 abv with the obvious exception of the cask strength and as with all of douglas laing s releases they are without colouring or chill filtration which is to be applauded. This time weighing in a a hefty 56.

Joining douglas laing s range of blended malts in early 2015 rock oyster is a magnificent maritime marvel made with single malts distilled on scottish islands including orkney jura arran and islay. Douglas laing co.
