Description

Octomore is the most heavily peated whisky series in the world, made by Bruichladdich on Islay. Edition 15.1 is made from very heavily peated Scottish barley, matured for around five years in first-fill American bourbon casks and bottled at 59.1%.

Despite its intensity, it is surprisingly sweet and balanced. The nose has peat smoke, vanilla, lemon and hearth ash. The palate is powerful, with peat, caramel, ripe pear and pepper. The finish is very long, smoky and warming.

For experienced enthusiasts and collectors. Taste it neat first and then with water, which tames the alcohol and reveals the fruit. It pairs with smoked meats, blue cheese or dark chocolate.
