Fourth stop in Douglas Laing's core expressions, Rock Oyster, a "pearl inside a bottle"; an Island Blended Malt, made with spirits from orkney, jura, arran and Skye. Bottled at 46.8%abv.... and it is great.
On the nose, is like having a Jura prophecy with a lemon touch. Clove. Douglas laing typical cake notes coming after a couple of minutes.
On the palate Lime with salt and pepper. Rock salt. Island pepper. The typical orange note from island whiskies. Finish is medium, mouth numbing.
Overall it is a faithfull reflection of island whiskies. Is a blended malt that feels a lot like any island single malt whisky. 92 over a 100, recommended. Slainte!
