• Coastal island character: A touch of smoke and salt brings a lively maritime edge.
• Generous 70cl bottle: Ideal for sharing, gifting or enjoying gradually at home.
• 46.8% ABV: Full enough to carry its flavours, while still easy to explore sip by sip.
• Strong value: A distinctive aged whisky offering impressive character without demanding a premium price.

A Rich and Balanced Tasting Experience

The first impression is gently smoky and coastal, creating an inviting sense of place without overwhelming the palate. As the whisky opens, sweet notes of candied sultanas come forward, bringing a soft, fruity richness. Caramel and honeycomb add a smooth, dessert-like quality, while smoked almonds provide a roasted depth that keeps the profile interesting.

Look for a delicate savoury note of salted chocolate, adding contrast to the sweeter flavours. This combination gives Rock Island 16 Year Old a broad and enjoyable character: sweet, smoky, nutty and lightly salty, with each element complementing the next. The whisky is rich enough for experienced Scotch drinkers, yet accessible enough for anyone looking to explore a well-matured island-style dram.

Easy to Enjoy Your Way

Serve it neat to appreciate the full range of sherry-led flavours and coastal smoke. Adding a few drops of water can gently open the whisky, revealing more fruit, caramel and honeyed notes. For a slower, more refreshing serve, enjoy it over a large ice cube. Its generous flavour makes it flexible enough for quiet whisky moments, casual gatherings or a special toast.

Rock Island 16 Year Old also makes a thoughtful present for fans of smoky Scotch, sherry-matured whisky or distinctive island expressions.
