Bruichladdich was built in 1881 on Islay's western shore, but closed repeatedly over its lifetime. Reopened in 2001 under new ownership, the distillery has since become known for transparency and experimental spirit. The Laddie Ten is the core expression of this revived Bruichladdich: a 10-year-old unpeated single malt, matured across bourbon and sherry casks.

Composition is deliberately diverse. Rather than a simple recipe, The Laddie Ten draws from multiple vats and distillation years, creating natural layering without artifice—non-chill-filtered, no added colour. At 46% ABV, it delivers a full, creamy mouthfeel.
