  1. wbarchive_875995 did not rate this whisky Expert Junior

    A bomb comes out of the bottle, then quickly dies. Very cool young Brookladdy, creamy fruit, good balance.
    • Nose
      White grapes, mangoes, creamy dessert with honey, flower meadow, the nuances of minerality and the sea, a dusty bag.
    • Taste
      Light sweetness, a slight acidity with bitterness, good balance. A bit of pine needles, honey, citruses poured with whipped cream.
    • Finish
      Prolonged, warming, but the degree does not bite at all. At the finish, sourness and astringency of citruses with cream.

  2. Archer scored this whisky 82 points Connoisseur

    Not overly complex, but not a failure. Nice whisky to chuckle away.

  3. pianoman scored this whisky 79 points Connoisseur

    • Nose
      Fresh, slightly sour. Dry white wine, sand, loamy soil. Summer grasses, light wood, some disinfectant.
    • Taste
      Malt with a subtle honey sweetness. Chili chocolate, filter coffee, slightly alcoholic. Medium.

  4. Archer scored this whisky 82 points Connoisseur

    Sure, it tastes young, but he makes no secret of it. If you know Bruichladdich, you can estimate what you get with an 8 on the label. It is not very complex, but you do not expect that at 8 years either. Drinks well, a spring whisky.
    • Nose
      The sweetness of fermented peaches. Vanilla sugar. In the background, something musty, but all in all, it shows in the nose but rather fresh, fruity and light. The alcohol does not sting.
    • Taste
      Strong on the palate and spicy on the tongue. Oily and creamy. Less fruity than in the nose, but the sweetness from the sugar is there. Slightly bitter herbs are coming.
    • Finish
      Medium to short, still quite creamy, with herbs, honey and some oak.

  5. MrDvorak scored this whisky 84 points Expert Senior

    RATING: 84pts – |83 – 86 (B) → Good| — Not a “must”, but a nice-to-have.
    • Nose
      86 86
      The nose is fresh and fruity with notes of white grapes, mango, creamy dessert, some minerality and flowers.
    • Taste
      83 83
      The taste is slightly sweet and well rounded with notes of pines, honey, citrus fruits and whipped cream.
    • Finish
      84 84
      The finish is short to medium and pretty warming with hints of nice berry sourness along with creamy fruity tannins.

  6. LaddieNerd scored this whisky 86 points Expert Senior

    Not a miracle of complexity, but a good starter in the world of Bruichladdich. Often seen in Asia and then tested by yourself:
    Add 5 cl The Laddie Eight, 2 ice cubes and then add soda. Goes well with whisky in the summer.

Young, but no longer kicking.
    • Taste
      86 86

  10. Eisenzipfel scored this whisky 85 points Member Senior

    A young fellow from my third favorite distillery. Massive on the nose, light-hearted on the palate and entertaining in the finish. All in all, a good and tasty choice for in between meals or in a relaxed atmosphere. Very good price / performance ratio.
