This is a unique Laddie. It’s on the younger side for Scottish, but matured fully in a Rivesaltes wine. Rivesaltes is a sweeter red wine, unlike the robust reds we usually think of when we have red wines. This one is bottled at a healthy 64% ABV. First thing I noticed is the color. Reddish mahogany—-like polished expensive wood. I added a spoon of water in mine, and let it sit out to open it up a bit. Got oak, pecans, and cherry jam. I noticed without water, the oak seemed less. Taste is jammy...German chocolate cake with raspberries. If you like something different in terms of wood exploration, or a jammy type of flavor, this would be right up your alley.
