Bruichladdich 10 Year Old First Edition

So no baby puke?

I love how I am KNOWN amongst my whisky brethren for detecting baby puke in Bruichladdich....however, none in this one!

"The current Laddie Ten"?

Yes, their current bottling of their ten-year-old is called "The Laddie Ten".

I think the question was in the context of the fact that the Current Laddie 10 is no longer available...

@Nozinan, I note that the LCBO is currently out of The Laddie Ten. The Laddie Ten was discontinued here in Maryland for awhile, and has for several months now become once more available in stock. When I read your post I thought this is what you probably meant by 'the current Laddie Ten'. BTW I haven't tried this new batch, only the Laddie Ten I bought between 18 and 36 months ago. Looks like the supply drought of The Laddie Ten is coming to an end.

@talexander I get that baby sick aroma from certain whiskys most notably, Bruichladdich and Arran malt. I've come to realize it's probably attributed to type of fermentation notes related to what brings "tropical" flavours forth like papaya (which smell of vomit in my book), pineapple, bananas and such.

@Victor, @Nozinan, I noticed on the Bruichladdich webstore under crate diggers that Laddie ten, 16, 22 are back on sale. However there has been little fanfare about this change, I'm not holding my breath. The Bruichladdich rep is in Montreal for a tasting even next week but the line-up is the same tired Classic Laddie, Islay barley, Port Charlotte NAS and Octomore 6.1. I don't know what's going on with Bruichladdich these days i'm a little underwhelmed.

Wow, for how much hullabaloo we heard when The Laddie Ten was originally killed, it's pretty anticlimactic if the passing comment in this review is how we all find out that it's back.

I agree with cricklewood. Bruichladdich has seemed like a big nothing since they were bought out. Octomore is presented as such a distinctly different whisky, that it's easy to omit it from what you think of as coming from Buichladdich. And with that out of the way, it's just a bunch of entry-level NAS bottles and a few weird NAS bottles. Quite an odd range.

I had no idea that Bruichladdich killed The Laddie Ten so that is my error. I guess instead of calling it "the current bottling" I should have said "the most recent bottling." Yeah, as I mentioned in my review, I've always been hit-and-miss with them, but I also like the 15 year old (2nd edition). The 18 year old (2nd edition) was also quite good. And I love most Port Charlottes and Octomore's, so I guess I like Bruichladdich most when it's heavily peated.
