Octomore 13.2

Single Malt — Islay, Scotland

Reviewed September 27, 2023 (edited June 27, 2024)
5.0
5.0 out of 5 stars
Octomore 13.2 sells for around $300. If the thought of dissolving the dregs of a charcoal cookout in ethanol has ever entered your mind, then this is the whisky for you. The price will be the price for Octomore. It’s not about the age, it’s about the spirit you put into a cask and what the cask does to the whisky. Lagavulin and Laphroaig have forced peat and Oloroso sherry to go on longer dates, but those are failures when compared to Octomore 13.2. This is the pinnacle for the BBQ in a dram style. I have numerous friends who say that once they go Octomore, they cannot go back to anything else. That’s what I am pushing these days. Buy the best alcohol that you can barely afford with your disposable income, and don’t worry about “I can buy 2.5 Lagavulin 16s with the money this bottle is asking me to spend.” Fuck Lagavulin 16, you don’t need that tame watered-down shit. You need the best expression at what it expresses, and you deserve no less. Buy this. Buy this.
320.0 USD per Bottle

    Is there ever such a thing as a bad Octomore ? It’s either a 4 star good to a 5 star wow

    Glad to double-up on this bottle after reading this review! Was too hard to resist running it back on an Octomore and first-fill Olo sherry marriage (exclusively & fully aged to boot…none of this cask finished bs)

    @ScotchingHard Love the rawness. Like they say in the wine world, "Life is too short to drink bad wine." Of course, that is counteracted with the fact that you have to wade through a lot of shit to get to the good stuff.
