Originally launched in 2015 as part of independent bottler Douglas Laing's Remarkable Malts series, the name Rock Oyster was changed in April 2019 to Rock Island (following marketing feedback that oysters were too much of a polarising food). The blended malt is comprised of malts whiskies produced on the various Scottish islands in small batches, including those distilled on Islay, Arran, Orkney and Jura. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 46.8%.

Nose: Wave-soaked rocks and a salty oceanic fresh influence.

Palate: Subtle to start with soft and rather sweet peat paralleled with smoke, honey, damp ash, liquorice and late pepper.

Finish: All of what went before is neatly replicated in the moreish finish.
