The Classic Laddie is Bruichladdich’s signature unpeated single malt, a whisky crafted to showcase the pure character of Islay barley without the influence of heavy smoke. Bright, elegant, and shaped by the salt-laden Atlantic air, it’s a celebration of terroir in liquid form. With two bottles in this set, you can share the taste of Islay’s softer side or keep one for yourself and savor it slowly.

Distillery Background:
Bruichladdich Distillery, founded in 1881 on the shores of Loch Indaal, is celebrated for its commitment to terroir and transparency. After being revived in 2001, it became a pioneer in using exclusively Scottish barley and producing both heavily peated and unpeated styles. Today, Bruichladdich remains a champion of authenticity, bottling all its whiskies on Islay and refusing to add artificial coloring or chill-filter its spirits.
