After throughly enjoying the non-peated The Classic Laddie by Bruichladdich, I thought I’d go for a heavily peated offering by them, for a contrast.
*please note, I am a Bourbon fanatic and have spent much less time with Scotch, but enjoy it now and then*
The nose has an upfront cloud of smokey peat, which I often associate with the medicinal note of a first-aide kit with bandaids. Underneath that there is light citrus, pear, vanilla, a little wet hay and some shoe leather.
The palate is sweet a little oily and slightly a briney with vanilla, peat smoke, pear, light lemon and malt.
The finish is long with sweet vanilla and smokey peat and char. The peat goes on like a never ending ember.
This one does not disappoint on the peat! Or flavor for that matter. Very nice. But I do have a tip, do not sip this one in bed with your wife. She’ll threaten to throw the bottle away because of how strong you smell while drinking it. What can I say, she’s used to smelling bourbon on me!

Yeah, totally at the other end of the spectrum from The Classic Laddie!
