Bruichladdich Octomore 16.2 Heavily Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Description

Using the same batch of Scottish barley malted to the same 101.4ppm, the 16.2 has been housed in a fine selection of Oloroso and Bordeaux casks before being finished in Madeira and Portuguese Moscatel for a rich and complex flavour. Caramelized sugar, roasted nuts, and dried fruits abound, enveloped in sweet campfire smoke.

Nose: Soft dried fruit mingles with Octomore’s signature smoke. Sunbaked tropical fruit and delicate florals appear from earthy peat, accompanied by a subtle nuttiness and toasted oak. Notes of honeysuckle and orange blossom emerge, alongside sweet smoke and a fresh, salty breeze.

Palate: Rich and sweet smoke, followed by caramelized sugar, roasted nuts, and dried fruits. Subtle hints of candied peel and warming spices follow. The underlying peat adds depth and complexity, evoking the warmth of a campfire and a touch of sea salt.

Finish: A long, sweet and smoky finish, with a crisp maritime freshness and lingering wood spices.
