Expression Notes from the Distiller

Bruichladdich Rocks eye catching packaging helps explain the meaning and symbolism of the Rocks name itself, and why this multi vintage bottling is so special. Bruichladdich Master Distiller Jim McEwan has selected superb quality casks from a variety of ages, and then has additionally matured the spirit in excellent quality French red wine casks to create a layered, fruity and complex set of whiskies.

The quality is a testament to Jim’s cooperage experience, his extraordinary palate, the quality of the American and French oak, and the quality of the Rhinns of Islay water that for millennia has filtered up through the oldest rocks in the whisky world.

TASTE DESCRIPTORS: Red apple, pomegranate, spice, brown sugar and vanilla.

Tasting Notes from John Hansell/ The Malt Advocate

“Fruit is the common thread to this lightly peated whisky. Red fruit, that is. Red raspberry, red currant, red seedless grape, strawberry, and red apple. A gentle sweetness (creamy vanilla, light molasses) balances all this fruit. Not overly contemplative, but delightful. This is definitely not the same Rocks I reviewed two years ago…This new one is richer, darker in color, and tastes more mature. It’s an improved version…’
