Always good to have native ingredients; unless the quality of product imported is better. Never should a cheaper inferior product be brought in. Great review.
I like everything about this aside from the harshness due to it being such a young blend. "Mellow" or smooth is not a word I'd use to describe it, but it's not bad at all. I like the physical bottle - blocking out sunlight with a nice looking Tiffany-Blue bottle. And of course there's a very cool factor in being able to type the code on the bottle into the web site, to see the details of your particular blend composition.
4:51 Details about the content of the bottle is found by the bottle code on every batch and the website of Bruichladdich. Every type of cask and the youngest age of the casks. Older casks the age cannot be mentioned by law. This is only made by a few brands like Waterford, Ardnamurchan.
For the entertainment value, I would sincerely like to see you two reviewing a whisky or whiskey that you do not like for once! Horst has reviewed Jack Daniels before and didn't give it a great review, I know.
Scotch with ingredients from Laos or China is like German Flag made from Korea or Thailand, etc imagine . . . how would one feel ? . . . Cognac grapes imported from California or SOuth Africa . . . YUK !
The need to DITCH the tin packaging which makes Bruichladdich whisky so damn expensive, and focus solely on the intrinsic quality of the whisky which they already do well. If they ditch the unnecessary tin and keep it in simple tube/cardboard packaging, it would be just fine. Again, it's the quality or taste and smell of the liquid (inside) the bottle which actually matters!
Aside from the cost, tin packaging DETRACTS from my experience consuming whisky. I know right away I’m going to toss it, it’s going to be difficult to recycle and waste a lot of resources. Everyone should stick to cardboard and not over complicate things.
In my view a decent single malt, nothing special, but overpriced for what it offers. This is $55+ in Nashville, and there are various single malts, blends or bourbons that are more complex than the classic laddie.
Jim McEwan’s influence shines through this offering. One of my favorites.
This is my daily drinker (well, I don't drink every day, but I'll sip this a few times per week). I also get the malty, floral , briney notes.
Kilchoman bottle themself as well. They also have a 100% Islay bottling with Islay barley from their own fields.
I finally got my hands on this and loved it. I should have bought more than one bottle.
I don’t know much about Scotch but do know I love this Classic Laddie!
Loved my first bottle of this classic. I add about 10% water to my dram to mellow out the 50% alc. Delicious.

I love it. There's some slight strawberry and currants from the French Oak also. It's not in your face but it's there and it's lovely
One of my favorites
I'll try it, thanks gents
My go-to scotch-whisky.
Delicious.
I’ve an unopened bottle of The Laddie Eight. How is this vis-a-vis the Classic Laddie
One of the best bangs for the buck by far.
Here's a old school answer. Yes everything must be from Scotland to be called Scotch Whisky. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks.
This is one of my favourites, top 5

To me it tastes like a Glenmorangie on steriods. I really like it.
This is a really good one but when I had it all I could think is where's the peat!?!
That’s my favorite whisky
This stuff is impossible to find in my part of Canada
I just found stock online in Quebec
Brilliant whisky
Few online reviewers suggest this is a one and done purchase. NO.NO.NO. I'm on my nearly 8th bottle purchase. So that must tell you something.

I think they did that already in the past 1-2 years when they had a bottle redesign.
for the uninitiated, if Horst takes one sip it means he doesn't like it
Hello Germany

Doesnt Scotland import barley from Ukraine also?
Bruichladdich was my first 50% ABV. My head nearly exploded!!
