Bruichladdich Rocks

4

Never tried a Bruichladdich before, but as a big fan of Ardberg and Islay whiskey, thought I’d give it a go. Great introduction to the brand, not as peaty as my usual dram, but right up there for taste and quality! Very interesting and worth the value, will be buying a bottle and look forward to introducing myself to other members of the Bruichladdich clan in the near future...

Probably the best whisky I have ever tasted, and I have tasted a few!

This is a high quality dram, bottled at a Bruichladdich's tradmark high alcohol content. However there is something bitter about the finish that means it is less favoured in our household. Some of the newer expressions, notably the unpeated "Scottish Barley", bottled at 50%, beat it hands down.

I am new to Scotch but I find this is nice whisky. I have had it on the rocks and neat. I prefer it neat overall.

Agree with Tom, best dram in a long time! Big fan of Islay Malts in general, and 'Rocks' is the first i've tried from this distillery. I really like the effect from the red wine casks, both in the colour and taste. One of the most exciting, interesting whiskies i've tried so far! Looking forward to more from Bruichladdich.
