Bruichladdich
Scotland
Single Malt
Bruichladdich's 10th series of Octomore bottlings has been all about challenging conventions, showcasing a softer style of smoke than previous peat bombs. Octomore 10.4, however, adds another layer to the convention challenging, being the youngest Octomore released to date! It was distilled in 2016 and matured for only three years in virgin oak casks, before being bottled at 63.5% ABV. It may be a young whisky, but that doesn't mean it isn't complex and enjoyable - not by a long shot.
Roasted bell peppers, hay, a flash of pear and peach, stem ginger and bonfire smoke.
Toasty barrel char and cigar box aromas, clove, cinnamon, red berries and baked earth.
Slightly nutty, with continued peat smoke spiciness.

WOW!!!!
How privileged to have been bought this as a present. Means I could take the cost out of the equation, but I don't need to It may be expensive but it is also an experience worth every penny. The punch and smoke are obviously there but there's so much more. The smoke is not just smoke, its candy coated prawns cooked on a tropical beach. The wood is a freshly made oak park bench with a mouth watering buffet sitting on top Extremely glad I have this as a last dram on any night
