With the Rock Island 16 Years Old Sherry Edition, the independent bottler Douglas Laing presents a particularly distinctive variant of its maritime blended malt series. This small-batch blended malt Scotch whisky exclusively combines single malts from the Scottish islands of Islay, Jura, Arran and Orkney, each of which has been matured for at least 16 years. Thanks to additional maturation in carefully selected sherry casks, the whisky develops a deep, fruity complexity that harmonises perfectly with its characteristic coastal smokiness.

The Rock Island range stands for authentic, unadulterated whiskies with an island character. This Sherry Edition, too, is non-chill-filtered, bottled in its natural colour and brought to the ideal drinking strength of 46.9% ABV – full-bodied yet approachable. The elegant gift box emphasises its premium quality, making it ideal for lovers of smoky, matured whiskies with fruity notes.

Tasting Note

Colour: Dark amber with reddish highlights.

Nose: Maritime freshness meets raisins, leather, peaty smoke, salted nuts and dark cherries.

Palate: Full-bodied and well-balanced with notes of sherry fruit, toasted oak, peaty smoke, chocolate, pepper and fig.

The Rock Island 16 Year Old Sherry Edition is ideal for savouring neat, particularly on cooler evenings. Thanks to its aromatic depth, it pairs perfectly with mature blue cheese, Iberico ham, dark chocolate with chilli, or a game dish with a berry sauce. An excellent blended malt Scotch whisky for connoisseurs seeking the perfect harmony of sherry influence and island smoke – matured, well-balanced and impressively composed.
