Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Single Malt Islay is the flagship unpeated single malt Scotch whisky from the Bruichladdich Distillery on the Isle of Islay. This expression has no age statement, as Head Distiller Adam Hannett hand-selects casks from different years to create the distillery's signature fruity and floral house style. It is bottled at a higher-than-average strength of 50% ABV and is made using 100% Scottish barley. The whisky is matured in a variety of American and European oak casks alongside Loch Indaal.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Elegantly sweet with honeyed barley, boiled sweets, and orange petals. Wafts of sea air are often present. Over time and with a little water, caramelized fruit notes, lemon drops, honey, tangerine, and tablet can emerge.
• Palate: Refined and refreshing, sweet oak and barley notes come together harmoniously. Ripe green fruits, brown sugar, and sweet malt follow, showcasing the flavor of the Scottish barley. Red apples and white grapes with touches of sweet cinnamon and brown sugar are also frequently noted.
• Finish: Smooth and well-rounded, the finish showcases the elegant balance between the vibrant fruit and subtle sea-spray notes. Mineral-rich malt with toffee and more honey lingers.

Awards:

• Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2022).
• Silver Medal at the Whiskies of the World Awards (2018).

Overall Impression: Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie is a well-regarded unpeated Islay single malt that emphasizes the quality of the distillate and the influence of diverse cask types. It offers a refreshing and complex profile with a delightful interplay of sweet, fruity, and malty notes, underscored by a subtle maritime character. Bottled at 50% ABV and non-chill filtered, it provides a more intense and authentic tasting experience. While it may be a departure from the typically smoky Islay whiskies, it showcases the versatility and elegance that can be found on the island, making it a worthwhile exploration for both newcomers and seasoned whisky enthusiasts.
