If you are new to peated and Smokey Islay whisky Rock Ed II can take some getting use to. But is you are already familiar with the Islay styles this edition can be misleading because the exciting packaging does not entirely live up to its expectations. Sure it is peaty and an interesting option to the more established Islay staple but value for money I would choose an Ardbeg 10YO over this edition. Then again bottle does make it stand out. Pairing with some strong mineral oysters like a Sydney rock was magical though!
