Portrait: Was makes the Rock Island Finished in Tequila Casks special

The Rock Island Finished in Tequila Casks combines single malts from the famous Whisky islands of Arran, Islay, Jura and Orkney - they matured together in high-quality Tequila Casks.
The result is a Blended Malt Whisky with flavor profiles of crème brûlée, brown cane sugar and roasted oak, plus a touch of peat, which are complemented by the citrus fruits and the freshness of the Tequila Casks.

The Rock Island Tequila Cask Edition shines with a high-quality hand-drawn design, which was placed as a band around the bottle. The design itself features elements of Mexican culture in the form of iconography and colors, with Rock Island's premium branding present throughout.

Chloe Wood, Rock Island Brand Manager, commented on the special bottling as follows:
“Rock Island is a brand that we are very proud of here at Douglas Laing. It allows four of the world's most famous whiskey producing islands to come together to create a truly unique blended malt Scotch whisky. As always, finding the best casks remains an important element of what we do at Douglas Laing, and this Tequila Cask Edition from Rock Island is no exception. The combination of Scottish and Mexican elements makes Rock Island so interesting that we look forward to sharing it with Rock Island and Douglas Laing fans around the world!”
