Rock Oyster from Douglas Laing

I was in the LCBO today and saw a new addition called Rock Oyster. From what I read, it has malts from Orkney, Jura, Arran and Islay. Since it is a coastal blend I suspect it would have a hint of salt and of course with Islay in the mix it would have some peat and smoke. My question. Who has tried it and what is your take on it? At a price of 65.00 it might be worth taking a chance on.

It's decent. The Six Isles is similar and better.

It's not as salty as the name promises.

If you're looking for a peat blast, Ardbeg Ten is better and cheaper.

If you're looking for a coastal-but-not-hugely-peaty malt, Talisker 10 is better and (in some places) cheaper.

Thanks for your comment. I've got both the malts that you suggested
