Product details
Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 15.3 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a powerhouse of flavor, blending intense peat smoke with the distinct character of barley grown at Octomore Farm, just two miles from the distillery. This edition is the second most heavily peated release in the Octomore series, offering a robust and complex experience. The Islay-grown barley imparts a cereal-forward sweetness, enhanced by casks that deliver notes of creamy vanilla and citrus fruits. The whisky’s golden syrup color hints at its rich, smoky profile, which is balanced by earthy undertones and a signature sea salt tang, creating a dynamic symphony of flavors.
On the nose, Octomore 15.3 reveals smoked cinder toffee, malted barley sugar, and honey, with layers of fresh citrus, dried fruit, and seashells intermingling with its intense peat smoke. The palate, despite its high strength, is surprisingly smooth and viscous, offering flavors of butterscotch, creamy vanilla, and sweet orange zest, with toasted oak and barley sugar weaving through the dry smoke. The finish lingers with burnt sugar, coconut, and delicate sea spray, leaving behind the unmistakable presence of earthy peat smoke, enticing you to take another sip. Octomore 15.3 pairs best with robust dishes like smoked meats, chargrilled steak, or rich blue cheeses, complementing its intense peat smoke and complex flavors.
