Nose: Notes of smoked vanilla, sweet caramel and toffee, the slightly charcoal smoke being balanced by delicate notes of coconut and flaked almonds. There are unmistakable aromas of earthy smoke and a hint of citrus, notes of lemon meringue pie contrasting with the richness of barbecued pork.
Taste: Citrus freshness, smoke and a clear minerality come through, followed by toasted oak and beach bonfire embers. Caramel and creamy vanilla balance with earthy smoke, and bright notes of pear, gooseberry, and green apple simultaneously add brightness and depth. Roasted coffee, clove and nutmeg notes begin to come through, with a slight hint of heather honey
Finish: Caramel and vanilla are balanced by Octomore's signature earthy peat smoke and a hint of salt spray, with burnt heather and gorse flowers settling in on the finish
Bruichladdich is a whisky distillery built in 1881 by three brothers. It is located on the Isle of Islay on the west coast of Scotland. It is one of nine distilleries on the Isle Islay, but Bruichladdich is to date the only distillery to produce, age and bottle its malt on the island. Following its purchase in 2000, the Bruichladdich distillery was very carefully renovated, they managed to save almost all the original material dating from the 19th century. Its single malt is only very slightly peated, with distinct marine origins, an iodized scent and a palate of salty flavours. This distillery produces two specially peated versions : Port Charlotte and Octomore.
