“Rock Island Sherry Edition exemplifies the impact exceptional Sherry butts can have on a peated, oceanic style of whisky – when spicy sweet meets maritime peat,” said Cara Laing, Director of Whisky at Douglas Laing & Co., in a prepared statement. “We are delighted with the end result.”

This Scotch is bottled at 46.8% ABV and is offered without coloring or chill filtration. It is said to be the perfect accompaniment to seafood and is a limited edition bottling that will be available globally for around £46, or about $60 USD. Apart from what was mentioned above, there are currently no other official tasting notes to consider.
