Octomore 16.2 Edition Bruichladdich 101.4 ppm Single Islay Malt Whisky 58.1%

Octomore 16.2 Edition from Bruichladdich is a super-peated Islay single malt whisky with a peat level of 101.4 ppm and an alcohol strength of 58.1%. It is distilled from Scottish Concerto barley and matured for five years in a complex combination of casks, including Oloroso sherry, Bordeaux, Madeira, and Portuguese Moscatel. The result is a whisky with depth, character, and an unusual balance between peat smoke and vinous nuances.

This edition of the Octomore series – known as The Impossible Equation – explores how extreme peat smoke can be combined with elegance and fruitiness. On the nose, you’ll find notes of caramelized sugar, roasted nuts, dried fruits, and campfire smoke. The palate offers dark berries, raisins, cherries, and spiced molasses, framed by wine tannins and peat. The finish is long and smoky with tones of dried fruit, ash wood, and warm spices.

Octomore 16.2 is a whisky for the curious and experienced enthusiast seeking the uncompromising and the complex. It combines Islay’s raw nature with Bruichladdich’s innovative approach to cask maturation and terroir. With its limited availability and unique flavor profile, it is an ideal choice for collectors and those who want to experience peat smoke in its most refined form.
