Bruichladdich Laddie Classic Edition 1

A splendid dram, with a really atractive complexity.

This is my first Bruichladdich and i am impressed. Great complex whisky. Nose(ocean breeze,smokie toffee?), pallet(fiery, sea spray), finish(long and beautiful). Simply astonishing. Oh love it. Just sip and savour

I was suprised to see it wasn't a 750 ml bottle - unusual color of bottle as well. My friend describes it as a good 7 out of 10

Again Bruichladdich have come up with an offering which to the unskilled and untutored drinker may seem ok. It is only when you have the education and experience I and others have that you are aware that this is a very poor whisky for very poorly educated drinkers! James Saxon

really nothing special going on here, style over substance?

A real hit, fantastic light oak taste, lighter than other Islay in that respect, a real curiously light smell, light lapping waves with a hint of seasalt to the nose, slight tones fruit, I get pear the most. Delicious taste, initial urgency of sweet caramel, followed by a long lasting oatmeal. Great early evening dram.

Quite a bitter taste - almost coffee. Not for me.

When i nosed this sample its smell was really awsome and perhaps this is why I was slightly disappointed when I tasted the whisky. It wasn't bad at all but just nothing special, it was slightly boring

As one who favors a lighter whisky, with just a touch or two of peat, I found the Laddie Classic to be great niche scotch. This is an early fall, leaves just beginning to turn by the fire with maybe a Vintage 1999 Montecristo type of whisky. The complexities unfold in an easy sort of way with just a bit of crispness.

James Saxon .... you suck! I cannot believe the pomposity of your comments. What gives you the "authority" to claim that only the uneducated and inexperienced would like this whisky. I cannot abide the constant references on many whisky review sites which state that only the "learner" will like a particular whisky. Yes; one's whisky palate does change over time but your "one for the masses" comment reeks of arrogance. Not much chance of a good review of Glenfiddich; Glenlivet et al then.

Try it with as well cold as warm smoked salmon, loved it, You may have a problem though if you dont like fish...

What a pompous ar*e you are. If you are so educated in whisky drinking you will realise that many different whiskies appeal to many different people. Not every, thankfully, is like you!

Found this great whisky at a liquor store in Chicago, recommended by the cashier as alternative to the famous Dalwhinnie, Lagavulin etc. I'm very pleased with the nose, complex taste and nice finish.
