Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают фруктовый, солодовый виски с ванилью, специями и дубом; мнения о финише расходятся — от приятного и длительного до сухого, горького и «неприятного». Часть отзывов отмечает избыточную «горячность» и недостаток сложности.
развернуть подробно
В аромате чаще всего упоминаются фрукты (яблоко, груша, апельсин, дыня, виноград, тропические фрукты), ваниль, дуб, солод, мёд, а также лёгкий дым и восковые/миндальные ноты. Вкус описывают как фруктовый, солодовый, сладкий и пряный — с перцем, дубом, мёдом, карамелью, шоколадом и цветочными оттенками; несколько отзывов отмечают «взрыв» пряности и сладости и интенсивность, не соответствующую крепости. Финиш в отзывах варьируется: его называют средним или длительным, сухим, дубовым, цитрусовым, солодовым и ванильным, но также сухим и горьким, «очень слабым» и даже «неприятной болью». Ряд отзывов характеризует виски как сбалансированный, лёгкий, «пьющийся» и приятный, тогда как другие указывают на недостаток сложности/напряжения, избыточную «горячность» и слишком гладкий характер; отдельно отмечается, что он не торфяной и выдержан в американском дубе.

N: very fruity - apple, pear, orange, melon and grape fruits, oily, some wax and almond paste T: oily, lots of oak influence, pepper and exotic fruits - mango F: some smoke, medium drying, carton and vanilla
Nose very fruity, but the whole is enough goes everywhere. (Tasted in the living room, so not in the most optimal conditions)
Vanilla, fruit, spice, but a little too much hotness

This would be a superb summertime dram.

| Нос | 80 | Sherry at first. Very bourbon with sweetness, maple, and oak. Malt behind all of that. |
| Вкус | 80 | A fruity burst. Pepper afterward which rises while in the mouth. |
| Финиш | 84 | Malty, as the pepper from the taste fades out. The malt lingers beyond the length of the pepper. Medium length while the flavors are intense, the malty remnant pushes to medium-long to long territory, but it very subtle at that point. |

There are few whiskies that I am experiencing as extremely powerful. it is not related to high ABV but rather an explosion of flavors. Springbank 10, Laphroaig 18 and this Laddie 16 are definitely included. Thanks to Thorbjörn Schönmeyr for the sample. (Rating interval 86-91)
[December, 2013] I found this dram in a commercial advents calendar. In my old rating system (ten scales that translate into WB points: 50 - 66 - 75 - 80 - 82,5 - 85 - 87,5 - 90 - 92,5 - 95) I scored it 82,5. I took no detailed notes and never bought a commercial advents calender again.

A very great whisky! Very balanced, light and yet versatile. Too bad, if it should not give him by the product conversion. With the best that I could enjoy so far (the 22er is still out :-))
Fragrance like the Laddie Ten, oak, fruit I taste pure oak barrels, then honey, honey wax, a hint of smoke, really great malt ...
Thanks to C. Brestrich for the sample.

Aroma: sweet, fruity, tropical fruit, vanilla, malt, slightly milder smoke, some oak Taste: pastries, honey, lemon, oak, floral, malt, tropical fruits Finish: long, slightly dry, citrus fruits, oak
Nose 21.5, taste 21.5, finish 21.5, balance 21.5
A good malt. You can drink it well. I probably do not need a large bottle of this because I somehow lack the tension. But I would not regret another dram of this.
A very "fine" whisky. Fascinating which span covers Bruichladdich from his "Laddie" to Port Charlotte to the Octomores. Somehow, he is already too "smooth" and at the price that is called today (90 €) too expensive.

Was not expecting that this dram is that good. Well done! The only critism that can be done is the dry and bitter finish which could have been better!
The nose reminded me a lot of Clynelish, then it drops off quickly. The finish is very poor.

Matured solely in American oak which delivers soft vanilla, notes of oak and exotic fruits. This version is not peated. Clean Bruichladdich!
delicious compostion - big distance to the 22 comes along completely different

not worth a try

The aroma is bright, dense: vanilla, thick honey, caramel, herbs and flowers, smoke, fruit tones, malt, grain, a slight hint of minerality. The taste is sweet, spicy: confectionery sweetness, notes of bitter chocolate, bread, corn, spices (pepper, vanilla), oak, fruit notes, a little perfume. Aftertaste of medium duration: astringent oak, perfumery, bread and grain theme, honey-floral tones. Conclusion . Solid, bourbon Bruichladdich. Not too exquisitely developed from flavor to taste and aftertaste. But in general, quality whisky. Rating 85 (n22t22f20b21).
A delicious, round and pleasant laddie, even if it is no wonder in terms of complexity. But he does not have to, because he is exactly what he should be: a very nice "drinking whisky"! No comparison to the newer bottlings, such as the Classic Laddie or the Laddie Eight.
A 46-percenter to rival any cask-strength whisky. Big-boned and feisty, if perhaps a bit frontloaded. Spicy and sweet in equal amounts. Beautiful maritime character with mere trace amounts of peat.

| Нос | 87 | Pretty closed-up initially. At first, there's a slight glue note along with some ephemeral florals (rose petals, perhaps). Then sweetness rears its head: maple syrup and/or creamy honey. This is followed by a decidedly musty component: old dusty attic or damp cellar. Even with time and air, this remains a shy fellow, though progressively more oak is coming through. Water brings out bergamot and algae / brackish water. |
| Вкус | 88 | Builds up slowly to a MASSIVE hit of peppery spice on the mid-palate, accompanied by an almost equally huge blast of sweetness. Ginger and honey, if you will. Wow, no way would I have thought this was below 50% ABV if I had this blind! Definitely an intense experience and a fun ride, heavy on the bourbon wood. After a couple of sips, a red-berry fruitiness emerges as well as a faint idea of peaty water (rather than peat smoke) along with maritime salinity. |
| Финиш | 86 | Clingy, oily sweetness with nice little cocoa notes, but the latter only become discernible after the first few sips have acclimated you to the sheer power of the liquid. Before that, it's all ginger, pepper, honey, and rather fresh American oak, which is fun as well in its own right, but not as refined. |

The bottle is nice and pretty. It's okay to drink it, too. Malt and yellow fruit, some spicy, some gummy.
