Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie, 50%

Price: 65 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Single Malt Scotch

Fragrant and fruity on the nose, with lemon, peach, pea, fresh-sliced melon, honey, vanilla, fragrant grassiness, and hay. More fruity sweetness and honeyed texture on the palate, with very light notes of smoke or char on the back palate, balanced by spice and light herbs. The finish is very long, with fruit, honey, and lingering spice. A beautiful balance of flavors with unity, depth, and grace.
