Bruichladdich's Octomore single malts have defied received wisdom since they were first distilled in 2002.
Adopted by the quietly confident, Octomore has gathered a dedicated following over the years.
Now reaching its 10th series, these new iterations explore a different realm of ‘softer smoke’.
Forget about whisky. Forget about the Octomore you thought you knew. This series will destabilise even the most devout aficionado.
Complex, layered, and endlessly alluring… with instinct over obsession.
This is Octomore 10.
Nose: Vanilla led, caramel, hints of smoke but tamed back. candied apple, gooseberry and marzipan.
Palate: Soft yet powerful and warming on the palate, peppery, barley sugar, smokey – dried earth and hints of rubber. Warm sand, sweetness of charred oak and pineapple.
Finish: Sweetness from tablet/fudge and a strong peat smoke and cold marine air combination.
