Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 14.2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml
Octomore 14.2 is distilled from 100% Scottish mainland Concerto barley and is malted to 128.9 PPM. Instead of being matured in first fill bourbon casks, it is matured in a mix of Oloroso and Amarone wine casks. Hailing from the renowned wine regions of Spain and Italy respectively. The spirit is then brought together in French oak, adding depth and complexity to the single malt.
Character– Octomore 14.2 uses the same barley varietal and is malted to the same PPM as the 14.1, but the liquids diverge profoundly with the influence of wine and sherry casks on the 14.2 spirit.
Nose: – Leather, prunes, red currents and malted barley come to the fore, followed by toasted oak and hints of cinnamon, green apple and black pepper. Waves of smoke and distinct red fruits follow, complemented with cereal notes of malt and porridge. The peat smoke is dry and brooding, with a hint of burnt heather and subtle pipe tobacco from the oak.
Palate:– The influence of the European oak is unmissable, with a touch of dryness balanced with the vibrancy of wood spices, smoked oak and roasted coffee. Barbeque sweetness and a crack of black pepper is complemented with rich fruit cake and dried fruits. A drop of water opens the smoke and fruity sweetness from the wine casks, bringing a beautiful balance as notes of apple and pear grow with the dram.
Finish:– Smoked malt, shouldering oak and sea salt settle on the finish as Octomore’s signature earthy smoke lingers.
Thanks for the quick delivery. A friend told me about Mandala, shared some with me. So, this was my first ever bottle and it definitely won’t be my last! Cheers!
This is a gift so I’m not rating product even though I know it is excellent.
