Bruichladdich Octomore 13.4 With Tube 61.6%
A limited edition 13.4 Octomore from Bruichladdich distillery. Super heavily peated spirit was initially matured in first fill ex-American whiskey casks for six months then transferred to American virgin oak casks for the remaining years. The virgin oak was given an high toast level resulting in whisky that's warming and complex with toasted oak notes and layers of vanilla, toffee and spice. A gloriously full flavoured single malt with a robust texture.

The Bruichladdich distillery was constructed on the isle of Islay off the west coast of Scotland in 1881 by Barnett Harvey. Then in 1886 Bruichladdich Distillery Company Ltd was founded. The site lies to the south west of the island and is one of nine working distilleries there. There have been numerous owners over the years and a time of consistency when Invergordon Distillers took over in 1968. In 1993 Whyte & Mackay bought Invergordon Distillers and the distillery was mothballed in 1995. Bruichladdich was then sold to Murray McDavid in 2000. Since 2001 when production started again the philosophy was to push the boundaries of the norm for whisky making. The distillery has become renowned for its innovation and willingness to experiment. There are three main lines produced, unpeated Bruichladdich, heavily peated Port Charlotte and ultra heavily peated Octomore. Not forgetting the botanist gin also distilled on site. The distillery has been very busy over the past twenty years producing new releases, batches and vintages of these great diverse whiskies.

Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Golden Syrup
Nose - Notes of earthy smoke and rich toasted oak open on the nose, followed by hints of almond, honey and candied peels. The toasted oak releases its complexity as gentle spices and sweet vanilla evolve, before notes of nutmeg, sweet tablet, syrup, chocolate and smoky aniseed. Over time, the citrus notes of the spirit cut through the smoke, bringing vibrant candied peel and grapefruit, with the depth of the oak beautifully balanced against the peat smoke.
Palate - Sweet and structured on the palate, a robust texture carries the high strength of the single malt perfectly. Initial notes of toasted oak come to the fore, followed by a subtle hint of tobacco, sweet tablet, golden syrup and clove spiced honey. Complimenting rather than dominating the flavour, gentle peat smoke comes through, beautifully enhancing the toasted notes from the American oak alongside hints of candied peel, praline and geranium.
Finish - Peat smoke steps forward as the oak fades, accompanied by notes of smoked fruit, apple, stewed pear and ripe melon. Dried mango and malted barley flour linger before a salty, marine tang.
