Octomore 07.3 5 Year Old - Islay Barley
From Bruichladdich distillery's range of insanely peated single malts, this 63% ABV 07.3 release of Octomore, made with 169 phenolic parts per million. That's an awful lot, more than any normal 'heavily peated' whisky.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Orchard fruit and icing sugar at full strength, ethereal citrus high notes, sweetpea, coffee cake. Water reveals more of the smoke you may have expected.
Palate
Thick and slightly drying with grapefruit, sea salt, vanilla, apricot skin, pear and peat tang.
Finish
Sweet peat smoke goes on and on.
Overall
As we've learned, bonkers PPMs don't necessarily mean blow your head off smoke bombs - floral notes and refinement make their way into Octomore releases.
