Douglas Laing
releases Rock Island Sherry Edition, a
limited edition expression of their
Island blended malt Scotch Whisky.
 Independent Glasgow based whisky
distiller and bottler Douglas Laing & Co
has unveiled a limited edition
expression of their Island blended malt
Scotch Whisky range, the Rock Island
Sherry Edition.
This new limited release in the Rock
Island line-up is a marriage of Single
Cask Single Malts from Scotland’s Whisky
Islands including Islay, Arran, Jura and
Orkney. The Whisky spent the final
stages of its long maturation in
specially selected Spanish Sherry butts.
The resulting spirit is said to capture
the essence of Scotland’s Whisky islands
with an earthy, sweetly-peated style
balanced by a spicy, sherried warmth at
its core. Bottled at 46.8% ABV alcohol
strength, the limited edition maritime
malt is as you would expect from Douglas
Laing offered in its natural state,
without colouring or chill-filtration.
As Rock Island Whisky is said to be the
perfect accompaniment to fresh seafood
it is no coincidence that the launch of
Rock Island Sherry Edition coincided
with National Oyster Day, a global
celebration of the delicacy held
annually on 5th August.
Cara Laing, Director of Whisky at
Douglas Laing & Co. commented on the
launch, saying: "Rock Island Sherry
Edition exemplifies the impact
exceptional Sherry butts can have on a
peated, oceanic style of Whisky – when
spicy sweet meets maritime peat. We are
delighted with the end result – it’s a
phenomenal Whisky and a wonderful dram
to pair with some shellfish this
National Oyster Day!".
Rock Island Sherry Edition has a RRP of
45.99 and will be available from
specialist online whisky retailers such
as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of Malt
