Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Unpeated Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

This edition was produced from 100% Scottish barley and sees the ABV upped to 50%, but like previous expressions, it's matured in American oak casks and chosen to represent the classic, unpeated distillery style. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... Fragrant and fruity on the nose, with lemon, peach, pea, fresh-sliced melon, honey, vanilla, fragrant grassiness, and hay. More fruity sweetness and honeyed texture on the palate, with very light notes of smoke or char on the back palate, balanced by spice and light herbs. The finish is very long, with fruit, honey, and lingering spice. A beautiful balance of flavors with unity, depth, and grace. 93 points - whiskyadvocate.com

Other reviews... plays out on the palate as boasting something nearer to 60% than 50%.... 90.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2024

Tasted from a 30ml sample 2019...Brilliant gold. Muted barley sugar and trace sulphur on the nose. Aeration adds familiar distillery notes of oatmeal biscuit, butter menthol lozenge and hints of macadamia. Light barley sugar on entry, hollowing out a little at the mid palate stage. Turns leaner, mildly grassy with warming alcohol and light vanilla after flavours. Better with water. 50% Alc./Vol.
