been drinking Islay whiskies for years and thought the Islay full cask was a find until I was given a bottle of the Rocks.
Lovely, smooth and the various flavour hints send the taste buds into heaven.

On a Youtube video promoting this product Jim McEwan says he did name this whisky Rocks to encourage consumers to drink it with ice. It's a vatting of 5, 6, and 7 year old bourbon cask whisky finished in red wine casks for 9 months.

The Rocks in the name refers to the geology of the island. You don't put ice in it any more than you'd put Coke in it.

I only take my dram with a dod-ey-ice and this is the perfect accompaniment. Simply splendid.

Very nice. Recommended by a liquor store owner over more expensive alternatives. He claimed it was best bang for the buck, and as far as I can tell he was most certainly right.Very fruity - nice coastal feel.

Just replaced the last bottle,a great addition to my whisky collection,it has everthing you would expect from a Islay malt,smoke peat and it has a subtle combination of fruit flavours which adds to a wonderful finish.Excellent malt.

A very nice dram - on the palate there's a juicy grapefruit with an oily, very smooth finish.

One of the few malts which has a tinge of pink when held to the light! Having tried other more mature Laddies I was a bit unsure about buying this one. Pleasantly surprised by a young but very smooth malt. Has touches of strawberry - pear and red wine. Don't mistake this for a typical Islay whisky though!

Never tasted any of the Bruichladdich whiskies before but this is one of my favourites. Love the smooth taste and there is definitely the flavour of a windswept rocky coast here. Fantastic amber colour never seen in a whisky before.

Truly the best value for money I have ever found in the whisky world. Such a smooth yet distinctivly Islay taste with a lovely coastal freshness. 10/10

I have tried some Islay whiskies tht I did not like. The ROCKS however is fantastic. Smooth and a great feel, taste. It is the real deal. Beats my states bourbon, hands down.
