General description

Imagine a Kilchoman Machir Bay without peat and a bit more malt-y/cereal notes. Fantastic whisky, I liked it more than the Classic Laddie and has more citrus than the Islay Barley 2010. Enjoy!

Nose

Citrus, sweet, a welcoming Islay air that you simply have to love if you love the Laddie.

Palate

Wonderful palate. Not too harsh/chilly, some honey notes and lovely cereal/malty notes. Smooth, you couldn’t tell it’s 50% ABV.

Finish

Long, several layers. First oak-y, then dried fruits, vanilla, and spice. Lovely Laddie notes, you just simply have to love this.
