From: Whiskyfun, May 2 2013 -  'The Laddie Twenty Two' (46%, OB, 2012)

Bruichladdich 22yo 'The Laddie Two' 46% OB 2012  100% americain oak. 

Colour: gold.

Nose: one or two steps above the 16, but the styles are very similar, although this 22yo has got more herbal tea, camomile, honeysuckle and such on top of the melon, plums, vanilla, honey, and sea breeze.  Lovely soft and pure nose. Also fresh hazlenuts and a little marzipan.  Barley water. 

Mouth: now we’re talking! It’s no gentle Laddie, and it’s even got a little too many pears and pineapples (youth), but otherwise it’s a rather perfect candied and toffee-ed Bruichladdich, with all the fresh fruits singing in the background. Baked apples and bananas, apricots and such. Touches of tea (breakfast), then lemon and a few drops of Cointreau. The American oak remains light and fresh, it’s no vanilla-and-ginger bomb at all.  

Finish: medium length, rather more on fresh oranges. Blood oranges. Less salt than in the 16 but there is a slight feeling of salt.

Comments: simply excellent. Love the fresh oranges.SGP:541 - 88 points.
