BRUICHLADDICH Octomore 10.1 5y 700ml 59.8%
The story of Octomore, an iron fist in a velvet glove, began as a lot of good things. For a few glasses. This is what someone said in the middle of a good evening in the Scottish distillery Bruichladdich: And what would happen if we smoked the malt to the absolute maximum and burned it? We know the rest. And now there's the 10th series of this powerfully smoky, elegant beauty. For every edition of the Bruichladdich Octomore, fans are looking forward to Christmas. What will it be like this time? In what barrels did it mature and for how long? The ninth series was in the spirit of minimalism.
The distillery decided to refute the dogma that good whiskey needs a long rest in barrels. He doesn't need to, we've seen for ourselves. Row 10 follows in the same footsteps. Bruichladdich Octomore 10.1 is a confident whiskey that knows that five years in barrels after good bourbon from Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, Buffalo Trace and Jack Daniels will suffice.
Aroma and taste
The typical smoky taste meets whiskey, which is not very young, but also not very mature. In short, just to show what gradual patient distillation and quality Scottish barley can do. The delicately golden delicacy is sparkling and proud, with a powerful consistency reminiscent of oil.
After smelling, the smoke stays in the background behind the distinctive vanilla and caramel, candied apples, gooseberries and marzipan. It is warm in the mouth thanks to the spicy tones of pepper. The drying of the malt over the smoldering peat left its distinctive mark in the form of earthy notes with a hint of rubber. You will feel the sweetness of barley, sand warmed by the sun, the sweetness of tanned oak and pineapple.
In the end, caramels and mighty peat smoke with a touch of the sea resound. Island whiskey in full swing. Join the Octomore clan.
