Octomore 16.2

Smooth, with just a little warmth at the end. Lots of peat, a bit of custard.

Smoky yet delicately classy whisky. The peat doesn't steal the show, letting notes of mirabelle and fudge develop, with hints of vintage garments or books. A little acidity only to complement the rest. It ends in a delightful extinguished fire taste that lingers for a while. A great whisky, that is worthy of its name.

Bruichladdich Octomore 16.2 is the reason why Single Malt Scotch whiskey is superior. A single ingredient bringing such a diverse flavor profile requires knowledge on cask maturation beyond any other whisky style. This is a single malt finished in Madeira and Moscatel wine casks. It offers a variety of flavors that is incredible. It comes in with 58.1% ABV, but you cant tell its that hot. The color is a dense copper and its very oily. On the nose: Sea Salt Caramel that was just burned on top of a creme brulee and orange marmalade. On the palate: very similar to the nose and a bit of a spice note. Finish: very prolonged, intense with the bonfire smoke and spices. It’s just an explosion of flavors, an experience and a perfect pairing for a great cigar on a campfire. Insanily good! Slainte!
