Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie

The Classic Laddie is vibrant and just plain fun. Details exist in moderation, making this one simply drinkable without much thought. On the nose, vanilla, a variety of citrus tones accompanied by soft cream and light, ripe fruit. The palate offers a mild tinge of subtle heat revealing itself mostly in the chest after you swallow. The mouth feel is medium light to medium and sharp in just the right places. Wrapping all this up is a dry and clean finish, lingering for a brief moment to show off lovely barley elements. This one isn’t a show stopper. While other scotches are an experience all their own, Classic Laddie enhances the event, but isn’t the event in its self. That’s what makes it such a valuable dram to have available in one’s back pocket. (FWF Share #53 [2018]) Opened: 01/05/18 Finished: 01/21/18
