Description
One of only 18,000 bottles, this Islay Single Malt from Bruichladdich distillery is super-heavily peated resulting in a whisky of 167ppm (Phenol Parts per Million). Matured for 10 years in American bourbon and French Grenache wine casks, this limited edition is presented non chill-filtered and colouring free at a strength of 57.3% abv.The nose is immediately smoky, closely intertwined with rich and fruity toasted oak. Smoky iodine, leather, ginger, walnuts and orange peel vie for position before lemon and green apples amid the typical Octomore smoky, salty character. The palate is rich and viscous with a balance of smoke, oak and fruit with salted caramel, marzipan, vanilla and malty bread. The finish is everlasting with the dry peat smoke reminiscent of pipe tobacco and peat tea.
