This is the Classic Laddie Single Malt Scotch Whisky by Bruichladdich, featuring a clean, fresh, and lively character. The oak and grain flavors are perfectly balanced to create a harmonious taste. Its color resembles that of summer barley. As for its nose, it starts with a barley sugar and mint aroma that transitions into freshly cut wildflowers such as buttercup, daisy, meadowsweet, myrtle, primrose, and cherry blossom. Hints of spindrift and sea pinks remind you that this spirit is matured beside the sea. With the addition of water, you can sense caramelized fruit notes, along with lemon drops, honey, tangerine, and tablet. On the palate, you'll find a refined and refreshing taste, where sweet oak and barley notes merge seamlessly. Ripe green fruits, brown sugar, and sweet malt follow, highlighting the exceptional flavor of Scottish barley used in this single malt. The finish is smooth and well-rounded, showcasing the elegant balance between the vibrant fruit and subtle sea-spray notes.
Bruichladdich Description
The philosophy behind the Classic Laddie, created by Bruichladdich distillery, is centered around the unique variety and provenance of their barley and the use of a diverse range of casks to evolve the flavors of their whisky. Each batch of the Classic Laddie is distinct, as the distillery does not strive for absolute consistency. The task of creating this whisky falls to their Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, who meticulously samples and evaluates every spirit by nose, taste, and mouthfeel to curate a blend that achieves the Bruichladdich house style. The final formula is decided in a sample room after many checks, pauses, and re-evaluations over several weeks. The Classic Laddie is bottled at a higher alcohol percentage of 50% ABV to showcase the Scottish malt that Bruichladdich has worked hard to trace, and the distillery refuses to compromise on quality for the sake of profit.
