In the nose a typical, simple Lsddie. In the mouth, unfortunately, a bit flat at the first sip. But that will be better. He is then really delicious and tasty. 81 points.

Nose

Creamy vanilla pastry with lemon abrasion, a lot of light in the direction of cheesecake. Also the Laddie typical cheese is there, if very discreet. With time comes spicy oak to the fore, also discreetly. The nose is very sweet and soft.

Taste

Sweet and spicy. Mild lemons and a little vanilla here too. The mouthfeel, however, is a bit thin in contrast to the nose. The dessert is malty and sweet with a slightly sour citrus twist. More sips become more intense and no longer seem thin. Pastries are stronger - Scottish shortbread, slightly salted.

Finish

Medium long and sweet.

Nose

Blind tasting:

Gently and easily medically. Little compote. Yes, the nose already has something. The fruit comes out well.

Taste

Beautiful discreet oak ... somehow complex ... great fruit and sweetness. Creamy. Long-lasting. Some smoke. Drinkable.

Finish

Strong with oak and sweetness.

A difficult one, for me at least. There's a sour / lactic / fishy side that I don't appreciate. That aside, I freely admit that the nose is amazingly deep and complex (sorry, Bowmore) for a ten-year-old. The idiosyncratic nose is the best part, though; the palate tends a bit too much toward the bitter and austere.

Postscript: There's definitely some smoke in here; the peatiness becomes progressively more discernible as the filling level of the bottle goes down. There's also a distinct farmy / cow dung note emanating from the empty glass, almost as if this had been a dram of Ledaig or Ballechin.

Nose

85 85

An intense, dark-roast ground coffee lingers in the background, testament to some good-quality casks. I can also, with some goodwill, detect a maritime feel, with a slight saltiness and something akin to fish oil. But it's also very yeasty and lactic, with a sour / fishy edge that I find somewhat disturbing. Smoked salmon drenched in Limoncello? Now there's also a smell of waxed jackets and engine oil - a bit like Ben Nevis in that regard. An awkward one, to be sure, but very multifaceted for its age. Comes across pretty thick and oily on the nose.

Taste

83 83

Not as thick on the palate as the nose had me assume. Starts sour-bitter, then there's a rush of spirit sweetness on the mid-palate. before it's back to bitter. Phew, not very mainstream, to say the least. There's certainly a faint peatiness. In its best moments, it reminds me of Springbank 10; in it's less favorable moments, it tends more toward Tobermory 10 or some equally lactic Juras.

Finish

80 80

Bitter grapefuits, pencil shavings, and (weirdly) some ashy, second-hand smoke.

Much, much better than the Classic Laddie. I could see this as a daily drinker or staple. Good stuff. Right up there with Springbank 10 for me.

Nose

86 86

Slightly restrained nose, lots of minerals, gravel, cheesecloth, lemon and perhaps some mint

Taste

88 88

Silky, gravel, soft and oily, lemon drops, butterscotch

Finish

87 87

Graham, salt, lemon, med-long rich finish

Nose

87 87

Somehow ambivalent, at first very soft and then powerful. Nice maritime, fresh and fruity at the same time. There are overripe bright fruits reminiscent of peaches, oranges and pears. In addition, I find a subtle herbal note, cereals, significant oak wood influence and a hint of smoke. There is a lot to discover here for old age.

Taste

84 84

Here you can see now that the malt is still quite young. Clear ginger and white pepper paired with a pleasant honey sweetness. The barrels have left a clear influence, because on the tongue, the malt is now a bit bitter. Orange scrub maybe. Again there are fermented fruits. Also black tea and the previously mentioned herbal notes.

Finish

84 84

Medium length with pepper, lots of wood and slightly sour fruit notes.

It tastes more mature than the age would suggest. Impressive whisky, very tasty and matured. A good statement from Laddie

Nose

Malty, some oranges, raisins, caramel, some salty, sometimes slightly sour from ripe fruit, dried apricots, some herbs from the oak and maybe a hint of smoke?

Taste

strong onset, malty here too, ripe oranges, a little honey, caramel, a little salty, dried fruit, especially raisins and dried apricots

Finish

the maltiness and the oranges remain, in addition still salty and at the very end also a few tannins.
