From the windswept Isle of Islay comes a rare rye-driven expression that defies Scotch tradition. Bruichladdich The Laddie Rye 7 Year blends Islay-grown rye and malted barley, a grain-forward whisky shaped by ocean air, fertile island soil, and time in American oak. Bottled at 50% ABV, it carries the spirit of Islay with a bold, contemporary twist.
Fresh cracked pepper and warm cereal sweetness rise first, opening into vanilla, caramel, coastal salt spray, and crisp orchard fruit. On the palate, lively rye spice meets creamy barley depth, balanced by soft oak, gentle brine, and a bright citrus flicker, finishing clean with lingering pepper and a saline whisper.
Made to sip slowly neat or with a splash of water to unlock its coastal spice and creamy grain warmth, this is Islay whisky reimagined for curious palates and modern explorers—an unexpected journey into terroir-driven single grain character.
