Octomore 10.3 6 Year Old Islay Barley
Bruichladdich
Tasting Notes
This 6-year-old Scotch whisky from Bruichladdich's legendary Octomore range is a true gem. Crafted from barley grown in a single field on an Islay farm, it showcases the island's distinctive coastal peat character. The nose greets you with a harmonious blend of briny peat smoke, milky coffee, and honeycomb sweetness. On the palate, bright citrus and green apple notes shine through, accompanied by hints of maritime air and a subtle whiff of burnt sugar. The finish lingers with a robust yet refined peat presence, inviting you to savor every sip. Bottled at a robust 61.3% ABV after maturing in American oak casks, this whisky offers a journey through Islay's rugged landscapes, expertly balanced and softened by the masterful Octomore series' "softer smoke" approach.
