Here's another one from the Laddie stable I am afraid. Rocks has started appearing in our local supermarkets in place of the ten year old. I speculate that this because we are now into the gap when the distillery wasn't working so the stock for making a consistent ten year old expression isn't there. Rocks has been put together to plug the gap.
The colour is interesting being a light brown, with what looks like a hint of pink. On the nose there is warm fruitiness overlaying the spirit. Coming to the taste there is a hint of the marzipan of the ten year old but with a bit of peat as well. However the whole is not as mellow as the ten year old with harshness about it. It's pleasant enough but to me it is a bit of a fence sitter. It doesn't have the mellow simplicity of the ten year old but it is not a peat monster either.
