Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Product Description:
Floral elegance, ripe orchard fruit and distinctive maritime freshness define Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Officially named The Classic Laddie 10 Aged Years, this expression brings a clear 10-year age statement to Bruichladdich’s signature unpeated Islay single malt. It is distilled from 100% Scottish-grown barley sourced from mainland Scotland, Islay and organically cultivated parcels. The spirit is trickle distilled to preserve the delicate citrus, floral and barley-led character associated with the Bruichladdich house style. Every component is matured solely on Islay, where the Atlantic environment contributes a subtle marine quality to the whisky. Rather than following one permanently fixed recipe, Master Blender Adam Hannett selects and combines casks to express the distillery’s intended character, meaning individual batches may show subtle variations. The specific maturation composition is therefore recipe dependent and can be identified through the unique code printed on each bottle. 

Bottled at a robust 50% ABV, the whisky retains a barley-forward flavour and a generously rounded texture. It is presented without chill filtration or added colouring, preserving its natural appearance, weight and aromatic intensity. The nose opens with ripe orchard fruits, toasted oak and flowers before developing lemon rind, orange, apricot, mango and peach. Vanilla, crème brûlée, toffee and warm gingerbread provide a gently indulgent counterpoint to the brighter fruit. The palate combines sweet citrus, candied peel and stone fruit with barley sugar, toasted bread, marzipan, coconut, ground almonds and cedar. Rose and geranium add fragrant lift, while a slight salty tang recalls the whisky’s all-Islay maturation. The finish brings together subtle minerality, floral perfume and lingering stone-fruit and citrus notes. Refined yet expressive, The Classic Laddie 10 Year Old offers a distinctive introduction to the unpeated side of Islay whisky.
