Rock Oyster, Douglas Laing, 46,8%

Review #770

This is a blended island malt Scotch whisky, including whisky from Orkney, Arran, Jura and Islay. Light white fruits, salt and peat in the smell. A peppery touch as well, but mostly just crisp fresh white fruits.

More flavourful in the taste. Lemon, spices and salt mixes with the white fruits. The peat is sweet and seems even sweeter with the sweet white fruits. The finish is warm and vanilla mixes with the spices and the peat.

A bit under-matured for my liking. It’s fine, but I think it have much more potential. Luckily they bottled it at 46,8%, and that gives it some flavour and a nice warm finish. I will give this 81/100 (20/20/21/20).
