Mark S –
Bruichladdich Classic Laddie is a non peated Islay Whiskey, an oddity for the traditional Islay profile. Which means you get a zesty and bright flavour which i find usually gets blanketed behind the layers of smoke and peat which the Islay region is known for. With it being a touch higher ABV than normal it has a depth and warmth which will keep with you throughout the entire glass.
