Bruichladdich Rocks is simply wonderful. Because it is unpeated and not chill filtered, the flavor profile is very different than other Islays. The lack of peating results in a LOT less smoky flavors and replaces them with really interesting cereal, caramel, and tangy notes on the start and a very unique nutty, salty, fruity finish. I just finished a bottle, and it shall be replaced in very short order. Its a one of a kind. I like it best on a couple ice cubes, but to each his own.

Dont get me wrong, I am a fan of smoky and medicinal Scotch flavors, some of my favorites are Ardbeg and Laphroaig... Rocks opened my palate to other flavors that may have faded into the background with other smokier single malts.

Highly recommended. And relatively cheap!
