Description
Honouring the importance that wood plays in the creation of Scotch Whisky, this edition of Rock Island has been finished in heavily charred casks, giving the spirit an opportunity to extract layer upon layer of rich flavour from the wood.
Rock Island is a unique celebration of Scotland’s Whisky Islands and the seas that surround them. A unique marriage of Single Malts distilled on Orkney, Arran, Jura and Islay. Celebrating the Chinese Year of the Dragon in 2024, namely the Wood Dragon, this rare Limited Edition has been finished in fiercely charred ‘crocodile’ casks.
Nose: Experience ashy bonfire embers, grilled pineapple and soft peat smoke on the nose.
Palate: Anticipate waves of sea-salt, caramelised sugar and BBQ'd banana.
Finish: The finish has remnants of smoke with brown sugar, coconut and salted caramel.
