Octomore 11.1 from Islay's Bruichladdich Distillery one again shows off heavily-peated single malt, but does so with brilliant poise and restraint - it's super peaty, but it's not absurd and unpalatable. This particular edition is a 5 year old expression, distilled using Scottish Concerto and Propino barley, then matured in first-fill American whiskey casks from Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam and Heaven Hill.
Cut grass, fragrant smoke and BBQ meats, with a squeeze of lemon and lime.
Caramelised sugar, charred oak staves, red chilli, another hint of citrus balanced by sea salt.
Lingering coastal peat richness.
Certainly citrus, but lacks depth to me, just disappears. Better than the 10.1, which is very flat though.
Breathtaking..... Literally the best whisky I have ever had. Highly recommend.
