Bruichladdich The Laddie Eight, 8 years old / 50% / 0.7l
- We have been flooded lately with no age statement whiskies, usually released under tongue-breaking Gaelic names, thus Bruichladdich The Laddie Eight truly stands out.
Product description
In recent years we have been inundated with age-unstated whisky releases, often bearing Gaelic names and evoking ancient legends and tales.
Bruichladdich presented here breaks the trend by referring to the good old standards and offering an 8-year-old whisky with the designation 8 years old, guaranteeing that its youngest component has been aged for that many years. The Laddie Eight is a whisky aged in European and American oak barrels and bottled at 50% alcohol. It debuted in the spring of 2016 in the Travel Retail chain.
Aroma : light and fresh, with delicate mineral notes, green apples, grapefruits, hay, a bouquet of dry flowers, lemon peel, vanilla, honey, a trace of ginger and a breath of sea breeze.
Palate : fresh, malty and slightly grassy, apples, peaches, vanilla, lemongrass, fennel, a bit of pepper and ginger, seaweed salad, and a fleeting trace of citrus.
Finish: medium long, with notes of vanilla, honey, orchard fruit, a touch of oak and sea salt.
