Product Description
The foundation for our Classic Laddie is not a recipe set in stone, but a distilling philosophy. We have no interest in precise uniformity, instead - year by year - the variety and provenance of our barley shapes our spirit, and an ever-increasing range of casks are sourced to evolve the variety of flavors in our warehouse.
Never striving for absolute consistency, each batch of The Classic Laddie will, by nature, be unique and subtly different.
Creating the Classic Laddie is one of the most complex and demanding responsibilities bestowed upon our Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, who curates this assemblage of our finest spirits by hand to achieve our signature fruity and floral Bruichladdich house style.
Composing each unique recipe is a rigorous process. Adam must systematically sample and evaluate every spirit by nose, taste and mouthfeel.
It is painstaking and difficult work, requiring a clear head and many checks, pauses and re-evaluations over many weeks. The final formula is decided in the quiet of his sample room.
We bottle our Classic Laddie at 50% alcohol by volume as opposed to the average of 40-46%. The flavor of our spirit at 50% ABV is barley forward, meaning you taste more of the Scottish malt we have worked hard to trace. We will not stretch our spirit and compromise on quality for the sake of profit.
