Bruichladdich Classic Laddie is an unpeated single malt from Islay, standing apart from the smoky style most of the island is known for. It is made from 100% Scottish barley, bottled without chill filtration or added colour at 50% ABV, and carries no age statement, letting the barley itself do the talking. For anyone who wants Islay’s maritime character without the peat, this is Bruichladdich’s signature bottling and a clear expression of its barley-first philosophy.
CHARACTER
Honey: honeyed sweetness runs through the nose
Green Apple: crisp orchard fruit up front
Vanilla: soft sweetness under the barley
Malt: barley sugar carries through the palate
Sea Salt: a coastal edge into the finish
TASTING NOTES
NOSE- Barley sugar and crisp green apple lead, with honeyed sweetness and vanilla underneath.
PALATE- Sweet oak and malted barley carry a distinct Atlantic saltiness, rounded out by vanilla and ripe orchard fruit.
FINISH- Medium and drying, with salted caramel and oak tannins fading into a faint sea breeze.
