The Laddie Eight is a travel retail Bruichladdich, rather young but we’re not complaining as long as we are told how old exactly and it’s not wrapped in a stupid marketing story.

It’s unpeated and together with the NAS Bruichladdich Classic Laddie , it takes a bit of pressure away from the Bruichladdich Laddie Ten , which is facing low stocks. Although it’s a travel retail expression, you can also get it in regular stores now.
