Bruichladdich Laddie Ten

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 93 Points

The distillery’s first 10-year-old malt completely made from whisky distilled after Bruichladdich reopened in 2011. The nose is light and floral with rose petals, hints of honey and vanilla, and a slightly briny marine touch. The taste is oily and slightly tart at first with floral touches, along with a nice spicy touch of soft cinnamon and hazelnut, allspice, and touches of dried apricots and peaches underneath. The finish is amazingly long and tart.
