Bruichladdich Octomore 9.1
(0.75l, 59.1%)
Where there’s Octomore, there’s smoke.
The Bruichladdich (brook-ladie) distillery’s history goes back to the 1880s when the Harvey brothers decided to make Whisky. It went through its renaissance in 2000 when a group of Whisky lovers revived it and got an esteemed Master Distiller Jim McEwan on board. Now, they produce 1.5 million liters of Scotch every year and each bottle is its own story. The people who make Bruichladdich Whisky are tough, stubborn and hard-working like their ancestors, but they are also nonconformist and believing in authenticity, they take risks and push the boundaries all the time. Now, the Spirit magicians of the Western Isles conjured something very special.
Octomore is a special line of superb peated Whiskies and the lads of Bruichladdich manages to trap the elusive smoke from the antediluvian subterranean world and use it to make an immensely elegant and subtle Scotch when you'd expect something aggressive and violent. At its 156 PPM, Octomore 09.1 is one of the most peated Whiskies and it's unlike anything you've tasted before. It's bold and breathtaking, aged for five years ex-American Whiskey casks, and limited to only 42 thousand bottles. It has a sleek and mature character that will treat you like a gentleman. Octomore's second name is Dialogos and a glass of this beauty will surely start a conversation.

Heath,
Perfect blend of smoke and peat. Smooth and drinkable. Drink neat and with just a drop of water, the flavors come alive.
Erik,
If you want to get punched in the mouth with peat, this will deliver exactly what you want. But beneath the peat is some real depth of flavor with sweet and brine
Jim,
Bought for some quality time with my best man and my godson.
Oystein,
!
Michael,
A force to be reckoned with. Had to wait a month to review to completely understand it...definitely have to work your way up to it but it is so smooth surprisingly with a nice sweetness. Gasoline never tasted so fine ;) love it
