Bruichladdich Octomore 15.3 Single Malt Whisky

Octomore 15.3 is a standout expression that combines extreme peating levels with the unique character of barley. Harvesting from Octomore Farm, just 2 miles from the Bruichladdich distillery on Islay. With a staggering 307.2 PPM, the second highest peated whisky released by Bruichladdich, this whisky offers a robust and intricate profile. Showcasing the depth of Islay’s terroir and the distinctive qualities of its homegrown barley.

• Balancing the whisky's formidable smoke with ripe fruit notes. Reflecting the meticulous distillation process and the influence of its maritime environment. The homegrown Islay barley contributes a malty sweetness, enriched by the briny kiss of sea spray, creating an authentic sense of place
• On the nose, smoked cinder toffee and rich malted Islay barley sugar mingle with honey and fresh citrus. Enhancing the aroma with dried fruit, crushed seashells, and Octomore's intense peat smoke, while cloves, toasted nuts, and a hint of coconut add layers of complexity. Butterscotch, brown sugar, and warm bread pave the way for a whisky that is deeply cereal-forward
• In texture, Octomore 15.3 is high-strength yet exceptionally smooth and viscous. Butterscotch and creamy vanilla enrich its character, complemented by dried fruit and sweet orange zest. The finish is characterised by toasted oak and locally grown barley sugar, underpinned by waves of dry, persistent smoke, making for a rounded and satisfying single malt experience
