From the rugged shores of Scotland’s whisky isles comes a dram that captures the soul of the sea, then warms it with the richness of sherry. The Rock Island Sherry Edition from Douglas Laing is a maritime malt with a sweet, indulgent twist, marrying the salt-laced smokiness of island whiskies with the deep, fruity elegance of sherry cask finishing. It’s a meeting of two worlds: wild ocean character and warm, sun-soaked sweetness.
