Bruichladdich ‘The Classic Laddie’ Unpeated Islay Single Malt Whisky

RM388.00

SKU:
WHM086102
The suite of casks selected by Head Distiller Adam Hannett for each batch of The Classic Laddie has been filled with spirit we have distilled from 100% Scottish-grown barley, unpeated (so without the classic ‘smoky’ Islay element). We could never deny that there is a romantic element in our determination to source our core ingredient from Scotland, after all, there is no requirement to make it so. But this is not simply sentiment, the unique combination of an ideal climate, high latitude and the soil types found in Scotland makes the Scottish barley crop perfect for creating the optimum flavour profile during distillation.

Individually selected casks are carefully blended to showcase the classic, floral and elegant Bruichladdich house style. Trickle distilled, then matured for its entire life by the shores of Loch Indaal in premium American oak, it is a testament to the quality of our ingredients.

Smooth as pebbles in a pool. It’s clean, fresh and lively with both the oak and the grain in perfect harmony. The bouquet is brilliant. Opening with barley sugar and a hint of mint before leading into the most wonderful notes of freshly cut wild flowers; buttercup, daisy, meadowsweet, myrtle, primrose and cherry blossom. The cleanliness of the spirit is remarkable. As the seconds tick by, more aromas rise from the glass, little zephyrs of spindrift and sea pinks reminding you that this spirit is matured exclusively by the sea. After some four or five minutes and with the addition of a little water, caramelised fruits drift onto the scene; lemon drops and honey, tangerine and tablet.

 

100 of different casks, crafted from different barleys, oak barrels from across the world, aged at different levels are blended to create the micro-expression of the Classic Laddie.

About The Brand

Bruichladdich distillery is located on the southwestern tip of the remote Hebridean island of Islay where we distill four unique spirits. home to Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte, and Octomore single malt whiskies and the Botanist islay dry gin. We label and trace, parcel by parcel, many different barley varieties, different farms, and even different fields, or terroirs, many of whose characteristics are retained directly in our maturing whisky stocks, depending on harvest, yield, weather, and crop rotation.

For us barley is a living, organic expression of the land, of the terroir in which it is grown. Our farmers are known to us by their first names. They tell us about the soil, the wind, the drainage, the aspect, the micro-climate of every field. The Bruichladdich whisky range is unpeated, floral, and complex. Triple-distilled from 100% Scottish barley using much of the original Victorian machinery, the methods employed by their craftsmen have continued unchanged. This is natural whisky, non-chill filtered, and coloring-free.

Port Charlotte single malts are peated to a heavyweight 40PPM. Trickle distilled through our tall, narrow-necked still, the resulting rich and aromatic spirit has all the power of peat with the elegance and finesse for which our stills are famous.
