Distilled at the reopened Bruichladdich on Islay, this Scotch takes on the nickname once given to the malts that came from this distillery. Pronounced "Bhrook-laddie," the Ileach (the people of Islay) simply shortened the name to "the laddie," and, rumor has it, that it was once the favored dram among the locals. The Laddie range humbly pays tribute to the place that Bruichladdich held in the hearts of the Ileach. This particular bottling was aged for sixteen years in an ex-bourbon casks. Using the somewhat confusing naming convention adopted by the new regime, the "Bruichladdich" brand indicates that it was made with unpeated barley from Scotland (the "Port Charlotte" brand indicates heavily peated; "Octomore" is super-heavily peated). Bottled at 46%, this malt is non-chill filtered and contains no added color.

On the nose pear vanilla melon peach. On the palate it's supposed to be unpeated but I can feel like it was. Citrus, ginger Long and powerful finish a bit burning. But maybe because I'm on fire !
Salt spray and brine. Leather notes, sulfur, wood smoke, and the peat. Ahhh the peat. Classic Laddie from Jim McEwan & Co. (KM) - 6/23/10
Not as rich as I was expecting, no wine finish, defiantly shows the distillery character off with age.
