Bruichladdich Octomore 6.2 58.2% 700ml 5 yr Limousin Oak
| Description: | History,. What happens when you take Octomore, the worlds most heavily peated whisky, and let it mature in limousin oak from Acquitaine that once held one of the worlds great Eaux de Vie? Magic. This latest bottling from master distiller Jim McEwans alchemical lair brings together the grace, elegance and complexity for which Octomore spirit has become synonymous and marries it with some of the finest oak in the world. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Golden syrup, smoke and red berry fruits to begin. The gentle smoke weaves through poached pear and apple pie from the distillation with the ripe fruits from the cask, red berries peach and apricot. As you inhale deeper, delicate floral notes unclouded by the smoke are released heather, lilies and orange blossom. Palate: The combination of sweet fruits and smoke is classic Octomore. Huge levels of peat sit in perfect balance with the flavours released from the cask. Add a drop or two of water and we get cherry, bramble, strawberry from the Syrah casks; cinder toffee, brown sugar, honey and crme brulee from the American oak burst through. You can feel and taste the rewards of our patience slow trickle distillation provides the soft silky texture that coats your mouth and releases wave after wave of the soft fruit and floral fragrance. Finish: As lemon zest, red fruit and vanilla oak fades away the deep smoke lingers, a potent reminder of the strength and character of Islay. |
