The Classic Laddie does not adhere to a recipe - it is a distilling philosophy. Each year the barley shapes the whisky so although each batch will be unique and subtly individual, each one will embrace the classic, floral and elegant Bruichladdich style.

Nose: starts with barley sugar and mint; followed by freshly cut wild flowers; buttercup, daisy, meadowsweet, myrtle, primrose and cherry blossom; whiffs of maritime flowers; and with the addition of a little water, caramelised fruits, lemon drops, honey, tangerine and tablet.

Palate: starts with sweet oak and barley; followed by ripe green fruit, brown sugar and sweet malt.

Finish: Unforgettable! It's best enjoyed in good company, you just don’t want the evening to end. It brings warmth to the heart and soul. The clock slows down and the cares of tomorrow disappear into the dawn.

Colour: Sunlight on early summer barley fields.
