Octomore Edition 08.1 59.3% 700ml

Octomore 08.1 is part of the legendary Octomore series from Bruichladdich, renowned for pushing the boundaries of heavily peated whisky. Distilled from 100% Scottish barley and peated to an astounding 167ppm, this Islay single malt is a bold exploration of smoke, strength, and balance. Matured for eight years in ex-bourbon American oak casks, it is bottled at natural cask strength, showcasing both intensity and finesse.

Despite its formidable peat level, Octomore 08.1 delivers remarkable elegance, with sweet vanilla, citrus, and floral notes perfectly counterbalancing the rich, smoky core. A true modern Islay masterpiece.

Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Smoked vanilla, lemon zest, sea spray, and oak char.
Palate: Layers of sweet honey, toffee, barley sugar, and tropical fruits entwined with peat smoke and subtle pepper spice.
Finish: Long, smoky, and warming, with lingering oak, citrus, and maritime salinity.
