When I tried the first release of The Laddie Ten back in (oh God) 2013, I was thoroughly underwhelmed. Each presented in an individual Bruichladdich aqua box, this is a perfect glassware accessory for yourself to enjoy or gift to a fellow whisky enthusiast. 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.

Conceived, distilled, matured and bottled on the island, with barley raised on our home shores by seven of our farming partners. 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.
