Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 12.1 | 750ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Zesty citrus freshness and earthy peat smoke open to vanilla sponge cake and barley sugars with rich malt sweetness. Coconut, chocolate, vanilla and caramel follow and, as the aromas open further, cinder toffee, layers of peat smoke and honey come to the fore.

Palate: Peppery and sweet on the palate, with a smooth texture of warm golden syrup. Honey and peat smoke then move to fired oak chips and peaty apricot jam. Another sip brings malted barley sugars and straw, heather flower and a nutty nougat sweetness. A mineral sandy note sits on the palate and brings through a dry phenolic earthy smoke, with hints of orange zest and pear drops.

Finish: The finish brings salted caramel with floral and herbal notes. Honeysuckle, primrose and then, as ever, gentle peat smoke lingers.

Distillery Information

Bruichladdich is one of the nine distilleries on the Scottish island of Islay. It is internationally renowned for the production of single malt whisky distilled under the Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore labels. The distillery was built in 1881 by the Harvey brothers on the westernmost part of the island. After family arguments, William Harvey ran the business until a fire in 1934 and his death in 1936. Over following decades it changed hands several times and was eventually closed in 1994. In 2000, Bruichladdich was bought by a group of investors led by Mark Reynier of Murray McDavid. The whole distillery was dismantled and reassembled, though it retains its Victorian equipment, is gravity-fed and has no computer controlled processes. In 2012 the business was bought by Rémy Cointreau. While Islay whisky is generally known for its peaty quality, the Bruichladdich-labelled production is actually unpeated. Writings from the 1880s describe the distillery as being the only one on the island not drying its malt using peat. Its uniquely tall and narrow-necked stills were originally selected on the construction of the distillery in to produce a pure elegant spirit unlike those from other distilleries on Islay. Bruichladdich place great emphasis on the provenance of barley in their production and marketing. The unpeated range uncludes the Bere Barley expression from ancient strains grown on Orkney, the Islay Barley release with the cereal sourced from three farms on the island, the Organic Scottish Barley, and the Classic Laddie from 100-percent Scottish farms. Heavily peated expressions are released under the banner of Port Charlotte, a village two miles along the shore where lie the ruins of the Lochindaal distillery, known historically for its peaty malts. The modern whiskies are distilled at Bruichladdich and aged in the old stone warehouses at Port Charlotte. The Octomore series are a collection batch releases, which marketed as having the highest peat levels of any single malt. Octomore Farm is a hillside property on peat soil above Port Charlotte which grew barley and produced whisky in the 1800s. Bruichladdich is particularly innovative which has resulted a wide array of limited edition bottlings including production of The Botanist gin.
