Bruichladdich Octomore 13.2
Bruichladdich’s famously hyper-peaty whisky is back with a new series of bottles. This 13th edition of the series, which was launched in 2008, sticks to the fundamentals of the range: each whisky is matured for five years, the barley used is very heavily peated and bottled at near cask strength.
Octomore 13.2 is made with 100% Scottish grown Concerto barley, is super heavily peated (137.3 ppm), and comes in at 58.3% ABV. Distilled in 2016, this single malt spent its entire 5 year maturing life in Oloroso butts from Fernando de Castilla, Spain. The sherry aging leads to a darker colour, more opulence, and an immediately apparent difference on the nose. Smoke and intense notes of orange peel meld with leather, spice, and bacon fat to create an immersive aromatic experience. Citrus-heavy sweetness strikes the palate first, followed by a salty, iodine-laced character, plus some sharper hints of lime leaf. Chocolatey and toasty on the finish, ringing with cigar tobacco — smoking and otherwise. The sherry changes the story here completely, with delightful impact.
