Bruichladdich Octomore 14.1 Single Malt Whisky

Crafted on the remote shores of Islay, this exceptional single malt whisky continues a legacy of bold innovation and unmistakable character. Produced from 100% Scottish mainland barley and aged for five years, it’s distilled to challenge the conventions of peated whisky.

This edition reveals a remarkable depth of complexity and a flavour journey that is both rich and refined. Matured in first-fill ex-American whiskey casks, it captures a balance of sweet vanilla, coastal smoke, and layered spice. A dram that delivers vibrancy and finesse, making it a standout pairing for robust and flavour-driven dishes.

• The Bruichladdich Octomore 14.1 Single Malt Whisky displays a light amber hue and opens with aromas of smoked vanilla, caramel, and toffee.
• The palate reveals earthy soot and smoke balanced by coconut, flaked almonds, and a subtle citrus brightness.
• Layers of minerality and charred oak evolve into soft bonfire embers, complemented by fresh pear, green apple, and gooseberry fool.
• Mid-palate brings roasted coffee, clove, nutmeg, and the delicate sweetness of heather honey.
• The finish is long and evocative, with notes of butterscotch, burnt heather, and a touch of salt spray and gorse flower.

This bold yet elegant whisky pairs beautifully with smoked and charred foods. Try it alongside slow-roasted pork, barbecued brisket, or smoked duck breast to enhance the smoky layers of the dram. For a refined twist, pair it with aged cheddar or Roquefort, while desserts like burnt sugar tart or almond toffee pudding bring out its creamy vanilla and nutty sweetness.
