Bruichladdich Distillery Islay Octomore 15.3 Edition 700 ml

Bruichladdich Octomore 15.3 Edition (700ml) is a highly anticipated release from the iconic Octomore series, known for its reputation as one of the peatiest whiskies in the world. As part of Bruichladdich's commitment to pushing the boundaries of flavor, Octomore 15.3 continues to deliver bold and complex expressions that highlight the intensity of Islay peat.

This edition is carefully crafted with 100% Scottish-grown barley and aged in a combination of American oak and ex-wine casks, imparting additional layers of complexity to the whisky. Despite the exceptionally high peat levels (around 167 PPM), the whisky remains well-balanced and surprisingly smooth.

Expect a robust flavor profile that includes smoky peat, charred wood, and sea salt, with nuanced notes of citrus, vanilla, and spices from the wine cask influence. The whisky offers a long, warming finish with a delicate sweetness that helps to temper the intense smokiness, making it more approachable than one might expect from such a heavily peated dram.

Bruichladdich Octomore 15.3 is ideal for those who appreciate bold, peaty whiskies with complexity and depth, and it’s a perfect choice for collectors or connoisseurs seeking a rare and striking expression from Islay’s renowned distillery.
