Bruichladdich
Octomore 17.3 5 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Description
Balancing muscular peat with elegance and nuance, this is Edition 17.3 in Bruichladdich's super heavily peated Octomore series. Distilled from 100% Islay Concerto barley grown in Irene's Field on Octomore Farm, malted to 132.1PPM, this single malt was then aged in a medley of first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill Ribera del Duero, Suertanes, eiswein, and syrah wine casks. It's a powerful yet composed dram, packed with rugged coastal salinity, sweet barley, and smoked malt.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Salted caramel and apple chips, oaken vanilla, and ashen, earthy peat smoke.
Palate
Baked orchard fruits join creamy notes of praline and vanilla cream, with deep layers of baked earth and charred oak.
Finish
Drying, ashy smoke, citrus oil, and coastal salinity.
