Bruichladdich Octomore 15.1 59.1% 700ml Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
| Description: | History,. Peated to 108.2 Ppm and distilled from 100% Scottish barley, in a combination of bourbon barrels and re-charred ex-bourbon casks. The backbone of each Octomore series, the 15.1 is the necessary comparison from which the other expressions oscillate. Laying bare the profound influence of high intensity peat smoke, the spirit has matured in a combination of first fill bourbon barrels and re-charred ex-bourbon casks, mindfully extracting as much character from the wood as possible. The result is a raw and uncompromising single malt whisky which demonstrates Octomores refined strength of character, balancing smooth vanilla custard and sweet charred oak with heady peat smoke. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Caramel and vibrant citrus open on the nose, delicately wrapped in Octomores dry, earthy peat smoke. Spicy aniseed, vanilla and smooth custard follow, with a tropical fruit, geranium and a hint of ginger complementing the sweet malt. Palate: Immediate heat on the palate is balanced with sweet dry malt and earthy smoke. A refreshing medley of mango, banana and apricot jam cuts through the heady peat, beautifully rounded with vanilla custard and toffee. A drop of water allows the smoke to open and brings subtle marine notes and warm sand. Finish: Peat smoke, vanilla and sweet charred oak settle on the finish, with a fresh marine crispness.
