Great drink, keep coming back for more
Love the Laddie.
Immediate waft of barley, almost reminiscent of bourbon, followed by layers of sweetness (honey and vanilla). On the palate, definitely tasted more honey, and almost fresh cut grass; not so much orange, but I did get an almost strawberry taste. This is a moderate to long finish that is extremely enjoyable.

Lovely stuff
Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Scottish Barley Unpeated 50% vol.
Matures in barrels made of American and European oak, non-chill filtered, natural color, made of 100% Scottish malted barley, bottled with high proof 50% without age statement (but the whisky is usually about 6 years old).
Nose: sweetness, candies, sea breeze, flowers, herbs, hay, grass, citrus, oranges, mint, mint pills, slightly malty, fruity and floral, beach, sand, apple with mint, mild aroma for 50% proof, slightly oaky, honey.
Taste: malty, vanilla, sweet, oak, mint, flowers, fruit, milk chocolate, slightly spicy, hay, barley, pineapple, coconut, pina colada, grass, salty caramels, tangerine, leather, cream, mild, pleasant.
Finish: gentle, pleasant, tropical fruit, a bit of sea breeze, a bit of salt, lemon, orange peel.
This whisky should be given to people who shiver on the back of the word Islay. I think that it would be very surprising how interesting the liquor from the island where peat was not used could be. Whisky is very friendly, gentle, delicate for its proof, young, but already well-composed, fruity and floral profile transferring us to the shores of Islay beaches.

It was great in the 90's and just as impressive now.
Malty, slight alcohol on the nose. Same on the palate but sweet. For 100 proof very, very smooth. Rich long finish.
