Intro:
Distilled by Bruichladdich and aged for 8 years, this travel retail (international) only bottling of Octomore comes to us with the 10.2 designation, as well as a limited edition labeling. Bottled at cask strength after maturation in Sauternes wine casks, with no coloring or filtering.
-
Nose:
Powerful honey, clove, sweet caramel and extracted sugars. Brine and pepper before a big hit of vegetal and ashy peat
-
Taste:
Rich and syrupy on the palate. Incredibly syrupy, and loaded with character and flavor. Apples, stewed fruit, honey, praline, pecan pie and ashy, coastal air.
-
Finish:
Long peaty finish, burning wood, faint iodine, big boisterous brine notes. Sweet and savory bundled expertly
-
Overall:
Absolutely lovely. A favorite since 8.2. Dessert wine and that aggressive peat profile work so wonderfully together and Bruichladdich has once
