Bruichladdich Octomore 13.3 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Description

Octomore 13.3 pushes the boundaries of peated whisky. The heavily peated barley forms the core of the flavor profile, with potential notes of:

Intense Peat Smoke 

This is the dominant characteristic. Expect a powerful smoky presence, reminiscent of bonfire embers, campfire smoke, or even iodine.

Maritime Influences

Islay whiskies are known for their coastal character. Hints of seaweed, brine, and sea salt might complement the smoke.

Fruity Notes

Peat smoke can sometimes mask subtler flavors, but hints of orchard fruits like apple or pear could be present.

Honey & Vanilla

These subtle notes might emerge from the ex-American whiskey cask influence, adding a touch of sweetness to balance the smoke.
