Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie

Nutty, floral, salty beach. Light, semi sweet.

Nose: Honeyed sweetness, orange peel, followed by a light waft of cream and sea spray. Palate: Candied apples, honey and toffee evolving into oolong tea, as the ABV% gains a foothold; the sea breeze grows ever more distant. Finish: The malt and mineral elements surface as the sweetness subsides,tangy but not overbearing. For a entry-level NAS bottling, the Classic Laddie is an epitome of quality and taste; the sensory experience is artful. Highly recommended, along with most things from Bruichladdich!

Classic in everywhere. An Islay without smoke and pear is hard to come by, but this provides the flavour profiles of flavours that underneath it all.
