Octomore 14.2 5 Year Old
Bruichladdich
Tasting Notes
This fiery Octomore expression, aged for 5 years, is a true smokeshow in a glass. The nose unleashes a torrent of bold aromas – nutmeg and black pepper mingle with the unmistakable scent of peat sticks, complemented by the sweetness of fruitcake and red berries. On the palate, it's a symphony of flavors, starting with burnt coffee beans and dried fruit, followed by a maritime peat presence akin to salty seaweed. Liquorice and cinnamon linger, adding depth and complexity. The finish is a lingering affair, with bonfire embers and sherry-stained wood leaving a lasting impression. This whisky's unique maturation in a combination of oloroso and Amarone casks has crafted a harmonious marriage of smoke and sherry, making it a must-try for peat enthusiasts and sherry lovers alike.
