Bruichladdich Octomore 15.3 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Bruichladdich Octomore 15.3 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a true powerhouse of flavour, peated to an intense 307.2 PPM, making it the second most heavily peated release in Octomore’s history. This extraordinary whisky is made from 100% Islay-grown Concerto barley sourced from Octomore Farm, located just 2 miles from the distillery. The 15.3 expression is a complex and robust whisky, balancing formidable peat smoke with the ripe fruit character that comes from patient distillation.

Matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks and first-fill Oloroso hogsheads from Fernando de Castilla in Jerez, Spain, this whisky showcases a unique interplay of sweet malty notes, burnt sugar, creamy vanilla, and citrus fruits, all wrapped in earthy, intense peat smoke. The salty sea spray that kisses the barley evokes a true sense of place, bringing the essence of Islay into every dram. Octomore 15.3 is not just a whisky; it’s a symphony of flavour, a bold and dynamic expression of the terroir, and a remarkable addition to the Octomore series.

“A phenomenal force of flavour and an Octomore bursting with character. The 15.3 brings together heavyweight peating levels with variable harvests from one singular farm on Islay. A symphony of flavour wrapped in earthy, intense peat smoke – this is Octomore at a whole new level.” – Adam Hannett
