HAND-SELECTED BY OUR
MASTER BLENDER
The foundation for The Classic Laddie 10 Aged Years is not a recipe set in stone, but a distilling philosophy. We have no interest in precise uniformity, instead - year by year - the variety and provenance of our barley shapes our spirit, and an ever-increasing range of casks are sourced to evolve the variety of flavours in our warehouse. Never striving for absolute consistency, each batch of The Classic Laddie will, by nature, be unique and subtly different.
Creating The Classic Laddie is one of the most complex and demanding responsibilities for our Master Blender, Adam Hannett, who curates this assemblage of our finest spirits by hand to achieve our signature citrus and floral Bruichladdich house style.
Composing each unique recipe is a rigorous process. Adam must systematically sample and evaluate every spirit by nose, taste and mouthfeel. It is painstaking and difficult work, requiring a clear head and many checks, pauses and re-evaluations over many weeks. The final formula is decided in the quiet of his sample room.
We bottle The Classic Laddie at 50% ABV, instead of the 40-46% ABV usually sound in Scotch whisky. 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.

The suite of casks selected for each batch of The Classic Laddie 10 Aged Years has been filled with the spirit we distil from 100% Scottish-grown barley. We could never deny that there is a romantic element in our determination to source our core ingredient from Scotland; after all, there is no requirement to make it so. But this is not simply sentiment; the unique combination of an ideal climate, high latitude and the soil types found in Scotland makes the Scottish barley crop perfect for creating the optimum flavour profile during distillation.

WE BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT’S IN YOUR WHISKY.
Despite the small number of raw ingredients in Scotch whisky, only a handful of producers will share their origins. Being transparent about what’s in your glass is still a surprisingly radical approach, but you have the right to know what’s in your bottle. We argue that flavour is derived from the whisky making process and ALL of the ingredients. The age of the spirit and the type of casks used are not the only signifiers of quality. A whisky like this should be considered in its entirety.
