Ochdamh-mòr – BRUICHLADDICH OCTOMORE EDITION 10.2 / 56.9% ABV / 96.9 PPM / 8 AGED YEARS

Building on the structural brilliance of their super heavily peated spirit, this Octomore 10.2 edition has spent the first four years of its life in fresh bourbon barrels, before being moved into exceptionally high quality, and incredibly rare Sauternes casks. The reputable chateau who originally managed these casks had filled them three times over with French sweet wine, allowing the oak to mellow and therefore temper its influence in our subsequent spirit. The combination of the softer smoke and oak influence has created a sublime balance with tropical fruit notes.

OCTOMORE 10.2 was malted to 96.9ppm, distilled in 2010 from the 2009 harvest of 100% Scottish grown Optic and Oxbridge barley, and matured entirely on Islay for eight years. It was originally filled in to first fill ex-American whisky casks for four years then recasked into Sauternes wine casks for four years.

Bottled at 56.9% unchill-filtered and colouring free

OCTOMORE 10.2 TASTING NOTES

CHARACTER – A great contrast to the .1 and total opulence. Longer in the cask, tremendous cask pedigree and a combination of sweet tropical fruit and smoke that is unbeatable.

AROMA – Wisps of toasting oak, smouldering peat and ripe nectarine, passion fruit and lemon in syrup.

TASTE – Rich, oily texture, hints of dryness from the oak but sugary sweet and fruity, lots of peach, jelly babies and dry smoke, classic Octomore sweet/smokey combinations encased in toasted oak.

FINISH – The oak and smoke linger after all the remaining notes fade, each one clear and crisp. Before they go head to head, there is honey and orange notes, and hints of clove that set off the finish.

COLOUR – Hazel.
