An exclusive single cask release from Bruichladdich! The inherent freshness, lively and giving nature of the whisky is clear while the Ex-Pauillac wine cask influence is also palpable. A delicious dram!
Fresh acidity lifts an inviting nose of stone fruit and gentle oak. The taste builds on this with rich fruit and layers of butterscotch and toffee. The wine cask influence becomes more evident with water, adding in a complex mélange of fruit.

Founded in 1881 by the Harvey brothers, Bruichladdich is one of the iconic Islay distilleries. It produces three unique single malts: The unpeated Bruichladdich, the deliciously peaty Port Charlotte and the bomb fire in a glass, Octomore.
The Bruichladdich distillery is located on the south western tip of the remote Hebridean island of Islay.
A fresh marine salt-citrus tang is the signature accent of The Classic Laddie, its Hebridean island home greatly impacts the development of this single malt.
Showcasing the impact of terroir on its whisky, Bruichladdich Islay Barley is distilled from Publican and Oxbridge barley grown on six western and central Islay farms.
