Rock Oyster Blended Malt

- grape - light smoke - sherry - vanilla - pepper - coastal peat - sea salt - green apple - smoky palate - moss - rosemary - buttery biscuit - dry Finnish

Nose: Immediate sea salt and smoke, briny marine notes with seaweed, light peat from coastal wood and moss with hints of cheesiness. some black pepper is complimented by green fruit sweetness, green grapes and slight tropical fruit, almost pine apple. Palate: Much heavier smoke, rich and oily, grape and green apple come through with spices, cinnamon perhaps. Herbal on the back of the tongue, rosemary and sweet vanilla. Buttery biscuit lingers with cheesy and kipper notes. Finish: Short to medium in length, very rich, slight oak, very sweet with ever-lingering smoke and herbal notes, mossiness

Smell: White grape Light mossy peat Salt Taste: Low pepper Very short Smoky Moss 00 now she found the spider squeeze the spiders was her birthday yesterday she turned one don’t fucking talk to my dog yeah it’s creepy as hell though

Aroma: Wet sea rocks Muscles Salt Taste: Sweet Spicy

lovely blend

Appearance: The color is clearly pure, with no added coloring as it is so light nearly to the point of water. Imagine liquified white corn, or you put a tea bag of white tea in hot water for a second realizing it’s not the flavor you wanted so you pull it out quick. I imagine that would give it the same hue. The legs are thin and semi viscous as they work their way back down the glass. Nose: The nose starts off sugary cotton candy sweet and flawlessly transitions into a smoky note. Behind that, notes of peat, moss, wet leaves and ash, and honey round out the remainder of the bouquet. I really like this nose! I added a splash of water and did the nose no favors unfortunately. It made it very weak and flowery. Taste: The body is really nice and oily. The palate consists of a sea saltiness, which then shifts and translates in my head as a soy sauce note. From that, I would wager this would be a fun whisky to have with sushi! After that the peat notes come in, as well as herbs and crispy baked green vegetables. By adding a splash of water I made it even more salty but clingy too. Again, no favors. Finish: The finish is long warm and lingering. I really enjoy how it lasts; it personally makes me both want to drink some more, yet also not, and be content and enjoy the aftertaste a while. I’d say it’s a good conflict. Thoughts: Dang! I really liked this scotch! This is a blended malt that really impressed me! I would definitely recommend this scotch and would happily buy it again! I really like the thought that went into this blend and into the other regional blends in the family too, which I am now very excited to try! Douglas Laing & Co., many thank yous, and keep doing great work! Sláinte!

Decent blend that has a sweetly peat nose courtesy of Laphroaig and a smooth and salty body from Jura and Scapa.
