The foundation of Bruichladdich's Classic Laddie is not a recipe set in stone, but a distilling philosophy. They have no interest in consistency or uniformity, instead – year by year – the variety and provenance of their barley shapes the spirit, and an ever-increasing range of casks are sourced to evolve the suite of flavors in their warehouse.

Each batch of the Classic Laddie will, by nature, be unique and subtly different, but it is ultimately their Head Distiller who curates this assemblage of the finest spirits, to showcase the classic, floral and elegant Bruichladdich house style.

Triple distilled and matured for its entire life in American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon, the whisky has an aroma of green apples, stewed berries and biscuits. The aroma gives way to notes of citrus, melon, vanilla and salted caramel on the palate, and finishes with a touch of chocolate, honey and earl gray tea. Outstanding!
