Bruichladdich The Laddie 8 Year

Nose: Strong honey and fruit notes. A very clean and light floral waft with grassy undertones. Palate: Light touch of sweetness with flowery undertones. Wooden/charred touch with peppery and other darker depth flavors. A touch of saltiness and spice. Finish: Pleasant sweet wooden flavors with a slightly grassy/oily linger. Overall a pleasant dram with good depth of flavors. Fairly smooth for a high alcohol content.

A smooth Islay with balanced light smoke and sweet soft barley. Not too nuanced or textured, but a very easy drinking dram

Drank on a trip to Iceland.

Even better than the classic laddie. Same flavors elevated plus a magical woody twist.

Nose: sweet, light, notes of banana, pear Taste: First thing on the tongue is spice, the body is a bit lighter. Notes of fruit, peppercorn, pear Finish is sharp
