Bruichladdich Islay Barley 50% abv, Non Chill Filtered and Natural Color   Bruichladdich Islay Barley is part 2 of the Wee Laddie tasting collection….I expect this to be better than the Classic Laddie which was a bit of a disappointment.  Let’s see how the Islay Barley compares.   The smell is sweet honey, malt, orange/lemon peel, burnt sugar and some flowers.  Really nice The taste is sea salt, vanilla, honey, spice, almond, apples and pears – just excellent. The finish is the same as the taste – all of the same sea salt, honey, vanilla and almond flavors are fading out.   Wow – this is really nice.  I was not expecting this at all.  It has an Old Pulteney feel to it which is always welcomed in this house.  Grab a bottle of this if you can.  I should be able to grab a bottle of this around $60.  It’s well worth it.   I will certainly grab a bottle of this next time out.  I can certainly see why Harrison Ford says this is his favorite Scotch.    Overall Grade: A
