The Douglas Laing Rock Island The Cologne Edition is a strictly limited-edition special release from the popular Rock Island range by the independent bottler Douglas Laing & Co. With an alcohol content of 48% vol. and bottled in a 0.7-litre bottle, this blended malt Scotch whisky is aimed at both lovers of maritime-inspired whiskies and collectors of exclusive editions.


Like all bottlings in the Rock Island range, this edition combines the characteristic island malts of Islay, Jura, Arran and Orkney, which are characterised by their maritime freshness, subtle smokiness and salty minerality. The whisky impresses with its multi-layered aroma, ranging from salty breezes, gentle peat smoke, vanilla and malty sweetness to spicy oak notes. With the Cologne Edition, Douglas Laing pays tribute to the German whisky community and presents a bottling available only in limited quantities.
