Taste: Malty Biscuit, Vanilla, Sea Salt and Pepper, a touch of Oak, Apple & Pear. Although unpeated, the coastal influence and mineral quality leave something of an impression of faint smoke. This sense of experimentation has earned Bruichladdich a reputation as something of a rebel within the scotch whisky scene. A perception done no harm by a surprising run-in with a US-based Anti-Terrorism unit… The Service has been prepared by us solely for information purposes to Members and the Service is based on information we consider reliable and we obtain the contents of the Service from a number of different third party sources (including Contributions), but we do not endorse, support, represent, warrant or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of the Services and any information therein.

We bottle our Classic Laddie at 50% alcohol by volume as opposed to the average of 40-46%. The flavour 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. This dram needs some time in the glass and the fastidious application of water to get the most out of it, but if you find the sweet spot the complexity is really great. The top-dressing casks help tame the youthful base spirit, given time to open up both the sherry casks and red wine casks add discernible layers to the spirit. Score: 6/10How has Bruichladdich embraced the change? First certified in May 2020, notable aspects of the business that helped them qualify included commitments to their workers that included:

The B on the Bruichladdich logo obviously stands for Bruichladdich, but now it can also stand for “B Corp.” Composing each unique recipe is a rigorous process. Adam must systematically sample and evaluate every spirit by nose, taste and mouthfeel. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Very tasty, easy and full of pleasant notes that slowly open and unfold. It gets more honied as it opens and with some water the malty notes grow but that sweetness always stays heavy and pleasant. My favorite thing about this particular bottling though are the waxy lemon notes that slowly arise and help build the warm fruity profile that under pins everything from aroma to finish. On the sustainability front, Bruichladdich was using residual heat from the stills to heat offices, the visitor centre, and the bottling hall. They also switched to 100% green electricity. This is interesting as it relates to choosing a green energy tariff from the electricity supplier – which any of us can choose to do – however the production process still requires non-renewable energy. There is a target to change this by 2025.

Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Review - The Whiskey Jug

Hopefully this summary helps persuade you that we whisky drinkers are in the privileged position not only to enjoy this expensive spirit, but also having the option to make ethical purchasing decisions. We can avoid the companies that are failing to improve the world around them, failing to look after their employees or local community, and instead support those striving to make a difference. Nc’Nean is the only other single malt distillery currently holding the B Corp status. A slight health warning: Brewdog also hold B Corp status despite multiple exposés on the treatment of employees and the management culture at the brewer.

After being rescued from closure by a group of investors led by Mark Reynier and Simon Coughlin, the distillery was sold to Remy Cointreau, leaving it on the firmest of footings for the first time in many years. Today the Bruichladdich name is known far and wide, with a dedication to terroir, provenance and experimentation at the heart of all they do. 100% of their barley requirement comes from Scotland, with 25% from Islay itself. The barley is separated by region throughout distillation and is then matured in a wide variety of casks from ex-bourbon and sherry to wine, rum and port.

The annual report is lengthy reading and that is largely due to the sheer breadth of the areas in which Bruichladdich is actively aiming to improve. These areas extend from agriculture and biodiversity to making hand sanitiser during the initial covid crisis. Never striving for absolute consistency, each batch of The Classic Laddie will, by nature, be unique and subtly different. Straightaway I’m sure most readers would notice benefits here not enjoyed by the majority of working people. Aroma has a warm, fruity, malty profile with a strong layer of decadent dessert/pastry notes that lend some buttercream frosting characteristics making it a a loverly fun aroma; Palate comes through similarly to the aroma but with more apples and more depth to the malty notes; Finish is warm and fruity fading to oaky char. Palate: Viscous but not quite syrupy body. A moderate tongue burn – consistent with 50% ABV – is followed by unctuous dripping honey, peach jelly, buttered scones, and more golden raisins. On subsequent tastes, the red wine elements are a little clearer – redder fruits and jammy port wine. Very tasty.

Despite the transparency of cask make up the only the youngest of those ages is legally allowed to be identified according to the SWA regulations.

Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Scottish Barley – Review Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). B Corp status is really taking off around the world, with over 4,700 businesses signed up covering about 400,000 employees in over 80 countries. It is cross industry, and therefore many readers may have encountered the status outside of whisky. There are as many organisations aiming to grant independent certification as corporations looking to virtue signal and sign up. For me, the most important aspect of the B Corp status that elevates it above other certifying bodies is that it requires legal changes in the business’ articles of incorporation to require the business to look for benefits for all stakeholders not just the shareholders. The result has been a thrilling array of releases that probe questions serious whisky drinkers have pondered for eons. How important are age statements, really? Is there an upper limit to peating? An upper limit to transparency? How much of barley’s flavor comes from where it’s grown? What about ancient barley varieties? And what responsibility does the whisky industry have to support grain growing practices that take the environment into account? How about its responsibility to the community at large? Living Wage employment, a 5-10% bonus scheme shared for 100% of our staff, annual cost of living adjustments as well we private healthcare, life assurance provisions and 34 days paid annual leave as standard. We’re also a diverse employer with a sound training and development program, including 50%+ female management and an age range of staff spanning from 19 to 75 years of age.”
