Frequently asked
What sherry casks are used?
Rock Island Sherry Edition uses ex-sherry cask finishing (typically Oloroso). The Islands base malts are finished in sherry casks by Douglas Laing to add sherry depth without overwhelming the coastal character.
Sherry Edition vs classical Rock Island?
Different focus. Classical Rock Island emphasises pure Islands maritime character. Sherry Edition adds sherry-cask depth as an additional dimension. Complementary expressions, not "better" or "worse."
