Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 700 ml

Product Information

Taste: Malty Biscuit, Vanilla, Sea Salt and Pepper, a touch of Oak, Apple & Pear. Although unpeated, the coastal influence and mineral quality leave something of an impression of faint smoke. Aroma has a warm, fruity, malty profile with a strong layer of decadent dessert/pastry notes that lend some buttercream frosting characteristics making it a a loverly fun aroma; Palate comes through similarly to the aroma but with more apples and more depth to the malty notes; Finish is warm and fruity fading to oaky char. Hopefully this summary helps persuade you that we whisky drinkers are in the privileged position not only to enjoy this expensive spirit, but also having the option to make ethical purchasing decisions. We can avoid the companies that are failing to improve the world around them, failing to look after their employees or local community, and instead support those striving to make a difference. Nc’Nean is the only other single malt distillery currently holding the B Corp status. A slight health warning: Brewdog also hold B Corp status despite multiple exposés on the treatment of employees and the management culture at the brewer. I drank a bottle of Classic Laddie in 2018. Loved every second of it. I can’t substantiate this comment, but my emotional memory of it was that it was just an “honest’ whisky. I read lots of nonsense about terroir and hands-on distilling, barrelling and bottling and blah, blah, blah, but this was the first time that all seemed to come through in the glass. Like I said, I can’t justify that statement. 50% ABV didn’t hurt for this cask-strength drinker, either. Never striving for absolute consistency, each batch of The Classic Laddie will, by nature, be unique and subtly different.

The vatting, once complete, is bottled at 50% ABV without added coloring or chill filtration. The higher ABV helps those subtle notes pop, and as we know from Octomore, Bruichladdich spirit likes to be braced by a high alcohol percentage. Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. Palate: Viscous but not quite syrupy body. A moderate tongue burn – consistent with 50% ABV – is followed by unctuous dripping honey, peach jelly, buttered scones, and more golden raisins. On subsequent tastes, the red wine elements are a little clearer – redder fruits and jammy port wine. Very tasty.Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service.

It’s a magnificent and undoubtedly popular dram, but due to the vast array of exciting Bruichladdich projects underway at any one time, it’s still a bit underrated in my opinion. The Classic Laddie can perhaps seem a little tame in comparison to the Octomore’s and Bere Barley’s of the world but the truth is that it is perhaps the best example of the quality that is consistently produced at this excellent little distillery. Very tasty, easy and full of pleasant notes that slowly open and unfold. It gets more honied as it opens and with some water the malty notes grow but that sweetness always stays heavy and pleasant. My favorite thing about this particular bottling though are the waxy lemon notes that slowly arise and help build the warm fruity profile that under pins everything from aroma to finish.

A perception done no harm by a surprising run-in with a US-based Anti-Terrorism unit…

I very much enjoyed this eloquent and erudite comment on the B-Corp matter, thank you. It strikes me as a splendid example of that old Soviet joke:Finish: Medium long. Delicately sweet, with only a balancing spot of charcoal bitterness. Evolves through light fruits – dried – nondescript florals, and then fades with a note that I can only describe as peach gummy rings.

I had previously been a little withering about the green status of Bruichladdich and the speed of change to reach net-zero in comparison to some of the other distillers. However, going green is only one small aspect of what makes a company a force for good or a force for evil. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.
