Description
Ultra-high provenance and fully traceable from farm to glass, The Laddie Rye is distilled using locally grown rye and Islay malting barley, before aging in a combination of quality bourbon barrels and Virgin American Oak.
Nose: Liquorice, ground ginger and cracked black pepper open on the nose, with a warming mix of clove, cinnamon and nutmeg following. A herbaceous undertone adds freshness, with geranium leaf, lily and a hint of wild camomile adding a delicate floral touch. Crisp pear, yellow melon and fresh apricot add a juicy sweetness, complementing notes of marzipan and coconut.
Palate: The whisky’s velvet texture coats the palate, punctuated with a prickle of spice. The interplay of peppery rye heat and soft sweetness never wavers, with layered and warming spices balanced with vibrant orchard fruits. The toasted oak brings smooth honey, vanilla and a touch of fudge, creating a complex yet harmonious balance of flavor.
Finish: Initial spice gives way to delicate floral and fruity notes. Warm vanilla custard and lingering cracked pepper and nutmeg gently fade, with mellow toasted oak settling on the finish.
