Bruichladdich’s signature unpeated release, in a giant 4.5L bottle (that’s almost 6.5 times the size of a regular bottle)!
Showcasing the classic, floral and elegant Bruichladdich house style, The Classic Laddie is made from 100% Scottish barley, trickle distilled, non-chill filtered and colouring free. Now, just in an oversized bottle.
Tasting notes
NOSE: Barley sugar and a hint of mint open before moving into freshly cut wild flowers. Over time, and with the addition of a little water, caramelised fruit notes come to the fore, with hints of lemon drops, honey, tangerine and tablet.
PALATE: Refined and refreshing, sweet oak and barley notes come together in perfect harmony. Ripe green fruits, brown sugar and sweet malt follow, showcasing the remarkable flavour of the Scottish barley used in this single malt.
FINISH: Smooth and well rounded, the finish showcases the elegant balance between the sprightly, vibrant fruit and the subtle sea-spray notes.
This bottling comes from Bruichladdich, an Islay distillery known for its unusually sweet, honeyed and floral character, complemented with a buttery citrus note.
