Bruichladdich 10 Year Old - The Laddie Ten Whisky 70cl

Best ever!

Left me wanting a little bit more complexity in terms of tart lighter fruit experience I've come to love with Springbank. It's a very good whisky and you can tell it's very well made with good cask selection but I'm such a springbank fan and springbank always has those lighter orchard tart citrus fruits that carry it finish on very nice. This has great vanilla, honey, barley notes on the nose as well as more deeper and rich notes but the finish does land a bit on the flat side for me. It could have used a few more wine casks possibly. It's not short but it finishes a bit vegetal and not too exciting. This is of course my first impression and it will probably get better with oxidation.

Flagship whisky from Laddie. Too bad it was discontinued. Beware that there is quite big quality variations between batches

Not worth the price charged here. The whisky is good, but MoM are overplaying the rarity card here. This is ridiculous. The rating above is including the price charged, which massively affects it.

I love it. U did drink it, however, before I read the reviews containing the "V" word. I found no evidence of the v-smell at all. Eichyd da!

Wonderful dram, not heavily smoked, spicy, a bit sweet, herbal. My first bottle from Bruichladdich and look forward to enjoying their other offerings.

Whisky that's been barrier filter has a tendency to go cloudy, usually when water is added. It's a sign of quality, drink up!

I have a bottle that's been in my dining room, after checking the bottle it has a slight haze (cloud to it!) the room I store the bottle in is just below room temp 18,19 * has this affected the contents?

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A BOTTLE OF THE LADDIE TEN AND FIND IT MOST ENJOYABLE.
ONE OF THE BETTER ISLAY WHISKY.

Initially enjoyed this quite a bit, but after reading a review suggesting a 'vomit' or bile like whiff on the nose it has been all but ruined for me.

It's all I can smell when going for a sip which is a shame because before I had been tipped to look for that note I found it to be an abrasive nose, with an almost almond fruit pastry quality to it and enjoyed the taste and finish a great deal.

I have read that adding a splash of water and letting it sit does much to alleviate said condition and will try it immediately and return with my result. I did like it and would love to like it again but thus far I have been tainted.
