  Octomore 13.3 Edition Bruichladdich 129.3 ppm Islay Barley Single Islay Whisky 61.1%

  Item no.: 22227865415555-855547

  Octomore Farm sits three kilometres from the distillery, and in 13.3 you can taste that distance. Edition 13.3 is the most rounded in its series, giving fruit just as much room as the smoke.

  Expert description

  Octomore 13.3 is a super-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 5 years and bottled at 61.1%.

  The barley is 100% Concerto, grown on Octomore Farm itself and peated to 129.3 ppm. The whisky is matured for five years in a combination of first-fill European oak casks from Rivesaltes in France and Ribera del Duero in Spain, along with first-fill American whiskey casks.

  The combination of terroir-driven barley and three different cask types gives 13.3 a more rounded fruitiness than many other Octomore editions, without compromising on the peat.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Lemon and orange peel meet a subdued, ash-free smoke, with malted grain notes beneath the fruit.

  Palate

  Nutty nougat and fruit play alongside a lightly salted, bonfire-like smoke reminiscent of an evening by the coast.

  Finish

  Medium length with smoky salt, seaweed and a lingering, dry sweetness.

  Octomore Ten 2009/2020 Dialogos 10 years old Bruichladdich 208 ppm Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 54,3%

  Item no.: 22227865413-11-10

  Dialogos means conversation, and that's exactly what happens in this glass. Ten years of maturation talks down Octomore's raw strength, without ever falling silent.

  Expert description

  Octomore Ten Dialogos is a super-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 10 years and bottled at 54.3%.

  The whisky is peated to 208 ppm and matured in a combination of first-fill ex-bourbon casks and fresh Virgin Oak casks. Although it carries one of the highest ppm counts in its series, it comes across as more restrained in smoke, precisely because ten years of maturation has rounded off the edges.

  Distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2020, Dialogos shows how time can transform an extremely peated whisky without extinguishing its character.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Salt, honey and tropical fruit such as pineapple and mango, with the peat smoke sitting as a deep, earthy base.

  Palate

  Rich and layered with sweet fruit and honey, giving way to a warm, lingering peat smoke and a touch of oak.

  Finish

  Long and smoky with a soft sweetness and a dry, ashy finish.
