Rock Island Mezcal Cask Edition

BrandRock Island
Description
This is a unique opportunity to get hold of a limited-edition batch of cask-strength whisky finished in Mezcal Casks. There are no more than 1500 bottles in existence. Mezcal Cask ageing is something unique in Scotch whisky. Rock Island award-winning whisky is a marriage of single cask single malts distilled on the islands of Orkney, Arran, Jura and Islay. For the first time ever, this award-winning whisky has been aged in ex-Mezcal casks. Mezcal means over-cooked agave as the plant is first cooked underground before its juices are left to ferment. Rock Island Mezcal Cask Edition retains the lightly smoked maritime flavours of sea salt, honey and barbecued meats with notes of gooseberries and blackberries, but the Mezcal casks give it the added note of roasted agave. Rock Island Mezcal Cask Edition comes at an ABV of 46.8%, without added colour or chill-filtration.
