Bruichladdich The Laddie Rye
Introducing Bruichladdich The Laddie Rye, a bold new chapter in the story of Islay whisky — one that redefines tradition through innovation and craftsmanship. Distilled from Scottish-grown rye, this limited-release single grain whisky showcases Bruichladdich’s commitment to transparency, provenance, and the exploration of flavor beyond convention.
A First for Islay
While Bruichladdich is world-renowned for its unpeated single malts, The Laddie Rye marks a pioneering milestone — the distillery’s first-ever rye whisky. Distilled in the same copper stills as its iconic malts, this expression embraces the rugged Islay climate and local terroir to create a spirit that’s unmistakably Bruichladdich yet refreshingly unique.
Aged in a combination of first-fill bourbon, sherry, and virgin oak casks, The Laddie Rye reveals extraordinary complexity, where spice meets sweetness and structure meets soul.
