Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie

Peat at its peak

Clean and refreshing taste. Very easy to drink and light on the flavors.

Nose - pear, apple skin, honey, grape, caramel, vanilla, cereal grain, oat, brine, brown sugar, floral tea, moderate to high ethanol burn. Taste - honey, pear, apple, caramel, vanilla, cereal grain, granola, brown sugar, cola, mild brine, moderate to high alcohol bite, finishing medium length with citrus, cereal grain, and honey flavors. This is tasty, but I think it suffers from the high proof. If it were a bit more diluted, I think more of the delicate complexity would shine.

Well this was better than expected but still once again showed me that I am defenetly not a scotch guy. This juice cant compete with a a good bourbon. Got it because it was on special and it said unpeated on the bottle because I assumed it was peat that turned me off from bowmore. Despite it stating that it was unpeated I was still was able to smell and taste the peat ? Why?? Once I got pass through unpleasant nose I was able to still note some good things in it like ripe plums, some vanilla, bitter dry oak notes, plus it has oily feel so that's pretty much the only good things in the whisky. Will not buy again, assume this bottle will last me a very long time as I am not planning on trying it out again anytime soon.

Color: summer rays on fresh barley Nose: honey, small white wine grapes ready to harvest Palate: roasted peppered chicken on sourdough, caramel on vanilla ice cream Sum: a nap next to a young oak tree

Intense en attaque, je n’ai pas ajouté d’eau mais je crois que lors de ma prochaine dégustation je vais en mettre. Final courte, mais fort goût d’alcool en début. Somme toute assez bon

This one depends on what you are looking for. I was was looking for light and flavorful and this delivered. But I was hoping for a little less brine (it’s definitely salty). The other reviews describe the flavors well. I think this is a good compliment to my collection of heavier bourbons and scotch that are more like speyside or highlands. It’s great for summertime but I would not drink it during fall and winter. This remind me a bit like kilbeggan Irish rye but much more complex and salty.
