Rock Island Whisky comes to us from Douglas Laing, an independent, family-owned spirits business that’s been around since 1948. If you peruse their website, you’ll notice that their current offerings run the gamut… From single cask whiskies and bottled cocktails, to in-house blends such as The Scallywag, Timorous […]
When someone asks us what their first SIngle Malt Scotch should be, we always suggest whiskies like Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Auchentoshan, or Balvenie because of their supreme approachability.
