Bruichladdich Octomore 16.2 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Description

Product Description:Wine cask richness meets super heavily peated clarity in this cask strength single malt. Octomore 16.2 follows Bruichladdich’s study of barley, smoke and cask influence, built from Scottish Concerto barley peated to 101.4 PPM and matured in Oloroso and Bordeaux casks before a Madeira and Moscatel finish. The result is a five year old Islay whisky that moves with darker fruit tones and layered sweetness while maintaining the structure and precision that define the Octomore series. Bottled at 58.1 percent ABV, non chill filtered and naturally coloured, it opens with caramelised sugar, figs and roasted nuts over soft smoke. The palate deepens into plums, cherries and treacle with gentle spice and integrated peat, creating a full texture shaped by wine cask tannin. The finish is long and warming, carrying dried fruit, nutty sweetness and lingering smoke, making it a characterful partner to slow braised meats or aged hard cheese.
