Bruichladdich Octomore 16.1 Whisky, 70 cl

Smoke with swagger. Octomore 16.1 brings bonfire intensity, bourbon freshness, and fruity punch in one explosive, peated whisky. Not for the faint of flavour.###Product Description Say hello to Octomore 16.1 — the launchpad of the 16 series. It’s built from 100% mainland Scottish Concerto barley, peated like crazy (101.4 ppm), then aged five years in fresh first‑fill bourbon barrels. At 59.3% ABV it’s bold but never sloppy: peat smoke meets salted caramel, honeyed melon, apricot and that charred edge. Add some chocolate, coconut and gentle minerality, and you’ve got whisky with attitude. Sip it slowly, or splash a drop of water and let the smoke dance. (Yes, you’ll want the full dram.) Tasting NotesNose: Sea spray, orchard fruit, gentle bonfire smoke. Touches of vanilla bean, roasted almonds, wild herbs, and smoked paprika. Palate: Candied sweetness, green apples, melon, apricot, then full peat and charred bonfire richness. Think burnt toffee and tobacco hug. Finish: Long. Tobacco and bitter herbs, orange zest, lasting smoke and drying oak.
