Bruichladdich Octomore 10.4 Virgin Oak Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Description

Octomore has always challenged convention. Many preconceived ideas about whisky have been overturned but perhaps the most provocative stigma still to be shattered is that which surrounds age. Distilled from Scottish barley in 2016, this three year old Octomore 10.4 is the youngest ever released, yet one of the most impressive. Standing alone in any heavyweight line-up, the depth, balance and composure of this Virgin Oak release is astounding. Twenty-eight casks cut from Limousin oak have been subjected to a high toast before making their way to Warehouse 12 for filling. Their high tannic impact is subsided by a high toast level which gives way to a dry fruit character that is impeccably well-rounded. There is a richness, chocolate, tobacco, bonfire smoke, leather in the aroma of the Bruichladdich Octomore 10.4 with notes of Vanilla custard, blueberry, dry straw and pear drops. Tawny in colour it’s warm and spicy liked mulled wine with Leather, tobacco, malt sugar and icing sugar on the palate. The finish is oak driven, coconut, tobacco, vanilla, then smoke.
