Octomore EDITION: 15.1 Super Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt 59,1% Vol. 0,7l

Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 15.1 is the foundation of the 15-year series and serves as a stylistic reference for the subsequent releases in this range. With a phenol content of 108.2 ppm, this Islay single malt is an impressive demonstration of the uncompromising Octomore philosophy: maximum smokiness paired with surprising depth and elegance. Distilled in 2018 from the 2017 harvest, exclusively using Concerto barley from mainland Scotland. This gives the whisky a powerful maltiness that harmoniously complements the distinctive peat smoke.

The five-year maturation in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks and re-charred ex-bourbon casks ensures intense aromatic extraction from the wood. The result is a whisky that embodies the typical Octomore DNA: brutally smoky, yet complex, balanced, and with impressive depth. Bottled at cask strength 59.1% ABV, naturally without chill filtration and without added coloring, to preserve the full authenticity and strength of character of this super-heavily-peated Islay malt.
