Imagine an old wooden fishing boat, crusted shells and wet seaweed drying at a rocky coastline, and you get a pretty good impression of this Island Blended Malt. The nose of 'Rock Oyster' is maritime, briny and moderately peaty with hints of citrus fruits and honey. If only the taste would be on par with the aroma! Arriving fresh, zesty and peppery sweet, there is no apparent oak influence and the dry peatiness is rather bland. The finish is spicy, mildly bitter and fading quickly. Although a bit pricey and young, this malt is well-composed and certainly worth a try.
