Created to replace the Laddie Ten shortly after Rémy Cointreau acquired the distillery, the first edition had Scottish Barley written in bold. In 2015, The Classic Laddie became the main name, with Scottish Barley as the subtitle. 

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

First, sea iodine, coarse salt, a hint of astringency, a slight bourbon influence with vanilla and a pastry note, brown sugar, crème brûlée, yeast, then the fruits reveal themselves, lemonade, strawberry chewing gum, minty freshness, lavender, a few spices, Provençal herbs, grass cut in the rain. On the palate, mint leaf, basil, white plum, vanilla bean, but it remains fairly smooth and ends in a rather pleasant, refreshing, long and biscuity finish, on puffed rice.

 

In Short, 

A friendly, original and light expression, often underestimated. It's not exactly a classic, but it's worth getting your hands on one, especially in summer.

Score : 84
