Nose: Honeyed sweetness, orange peel, followed by a light waft of cream and sea spray. Palate: Candied apples, honey and toffee evolving into oolong tea, as the ABV% gains a foothold; the sea breeze grows ever more distant. Finish: The malt and mineral elements surface as the sweetness subsides,tangy but not overbearing. For a entry-level NAS bottling, the Classic Laddie is an epitome of quality and taste; the sensory experience is artful. Highly recommended, along with most things from Bruichladdich!
