  Nicely balanced with a hint of smoke, toffee, vanilla and cream. You can also pick up some fruity notes in this one. Will definitely buy again!

  Not bad. Didn’t grab me immediately. It’s subtle and approachable. Smokey, salty, floral and clingy spice. Good one to start off with.

  As good an unpeated Islay as I can imagine possible.

  Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Scottish Barley Unpeated 50% vol. Matured in barrels made of American and European oak, non-chill filtered, natural color, made of 100% Scottish malted barley, bottled with high proof 50% without age statement (but the whisky is usually about 6 years old) Nose: sweetness, candies, sea breeze, flowers, herbs, hay, grass, citrus, oranges, mint, mint pills, slightly malty, fruity and floral, beach, sand, apple with mint, mild aroma for 50% proof, slightly oaky, honey Taste: malty, vanilla, sweet, oak, mint, flowers, fruit, milk chocolate, slightly spicy, hay, barley, pineapple, coconut, pina colada, grass, salty caramels, tangerine, leather, cream, mild, pleasant Finish: gentle, pleasant, tropical fruit, a bit of sea breeze, a bit of salt, lemon, orange peel This whisky should be given to people who shiver on the back of the word Islay. I think that it would be very surprising how interesting the liquor from the island where peat was not used could be. Whisky is very friendly, gentle, delicate for its proof, young, but already well-composed, fruity and floral profile transferring us to the shores of Islay beaches.

  It was ok, it was cloudy and had a low tannin flavor.

  Am never swayed by reviewers.No two persons tastes are ever the same,I have found no two whiskies are the same either,if you enjoy whisky you try because you enjoy variety and in the end you compare....and you will find plenty in this whisky to enjoy and compare.

  Fantastic. I find it has a wonderful sweet toffee smell to it and does have a very so slight smoaky tang to it in my pallet. Very very smooth!

  I'd seen some pretty poor reviews of this whisky and that along with the fairly steep pricetag put me off buying a bottle. However, I saw a bottle behind the bar when up visiting Orkney and thought I'd order a dram to try for myself. I ended up being pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it far more than any of the other three whiskies I tried that night. A pleasant whisky and very drinkable. Still maybe slightly expensive for what it is but I will be ordering a bottle off the back of the sample I tried.

  An incredibly dram, soft yet fiesty! Light, sweet, vanilla with a subtle nutty/salty finish.

  I agree,it needs a little drop of water to release its fruity flavours.It is a decent drop.

  I tried this firstly without adding water, and got that astringent whack of new oak, furniture polish and little else... you can tell it's a youngster. But with some water, it thankfully softens. It still tastes young, but the stewed apple taste (which in older Bruichladdich's I've tasted grows into gorgeous toffee-apple flavours), starts to come out. It's also quite dry (that'll be the oak tannins again). It's pleasant but not complex, and not a star.

  Absolutely lovely. A true classic scotch. This is how it should be done. Delightful !
