Octomore 8 Year Old 2011 (cask 13327) - Old Particular (Douglas Laing)

Bruichladdich's Octomore represents one of Scotland's most intensely peated expressions, and this 8-year-old single hogshead bottling by Douglas Laing captures that aggression at near-cask strength (48.4% ABV). The spirit delivers waves of tar, seaweed, and medicinal smoke with underlying stewed fruit from the refill bourbon wood, creating a whisky that burns bright and long. The youth gives it sharp edges rather than softness, keeping the peat's industrial character at the fore. For those unafraid of extreme smoke.
