- Description
- Bruichladdich's fourth edition Octomore distilled in 2009 pushes Islay's peating to extremes, with a measured 208 PPM yielding intense smoke, tar, and brine on the nose and palate. At 54.3% ABV after a decade of maturation, this un-cask-strength expression delivers a powerful, oily mouthfeel with underlying iodine, seaweed, and dark chocolate complexity. The high alcohol compounds the maritime character, creating a long, medicinal finish. Essential for peat devotees seeking benchmark intensity without sacrificing balance.
