Coastal Collection Provenance

Rock Island 8 Years Old Coastal Collection is a tribute to the maritime influences of the Scottish Isles. Bottled by Douglas Laing & Co., this blended malt whisky captures the rugged beauty of the coast with its complex flavor profile. With an alcohol content of 46%, it promises a rich and layered experience for the enthusiast.

Upon opening, one is greeted by saline aromas with notes of toasted oak and dried seaweed. The palate reveals an oily texture with hints of BBQ meats and wood, complemented by a touch of green fruit and the distinctive smoke characteristic of an Islay-worthy blend. The finish is powerful and long-lasting, leaving a briny and peppery impression.

Best enjoyed neat, this whisky pairs beautifully with seafood such as smoked salmon or oysters, enhancing its maritime qualities.
