Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie

N: off the rip this has a wonderful and delicate nose, malted barley, bright crisp fruits, pear, honey crisp apple, honeysuckle, gentle floral notes of carnations or white roses, the grassy sweetness of a floral meadow, hint of citrus creeps through after a few moments. A little water brings out more sweet fruits, a little zest of lemon perhaps, honeyed granola. T: gentle and clean, light sugary spun sweetness, touch of mineral water, transitions to darker sweetness of light brown sugar and malt, wonderful mix of a floral and white pepperiness, medium finish that quite enjoyable. Water gives the finish a neat herbal note mixed with a floral touch, oak barrel comes out more. For those that like to pick apart a good scotch, this one should fit the bill. Complicated enough and a little different from of the others. It really is a refreshing take on scotch but yet stays within the classic realms of the traditional scotch profile you’d expect. I enjoyed this one very much.

Sweet/floral nose. Apple, mellow

Sample from HKW. Neat. Very light gold color. Nose is wine barrel. Sweet, wine barrel taste. Very smooth for 100 pf. Very slight burn. Finish is short and sweet.

Fabulous. Sea breeze, jasmine and gala apples on the nose. Incredibly complex for such a light bodied whisky. 50% really shines

Very good whiskey. Insinuation of sea and some fruity flavors. Very good.

Fancy version of johnnie walker - tastes of potatoes, grains, peat - ambitious but personally not amazing
