Summary: Nowhere is the dualism of their Octomore super heavily peated series more pertinent than in their .1 edition. Never as expected, delicate but powerful, this is unadulterated heavy smoke balanced with our vivacious and dynamic, fruity and floral distillate. While Octomore in itself does not conform to tradition, their Head Distiller Adam Hannett is inclined to mature Octomore .1 editions solely in ex-American whiskey casks for 5 vibrant years. Octomore 12.1 is the necessary control for the rest of the series, as experiments within an experiment, but their baseline should not be underestimated. Mainland grown Scottish barley is distilled in a patient and considered trickle. The stripped back maturation profile allows a sensory conversation that highlights the cereal-rich, malty notes of this barley-forward single malt. Vanilla, citrus and fudge culminate in an enigmatic challenge to received whisky wisdom. Malted to 130.8 PPM Distilled in 2015 from the 2014 harvest of 100% Scottish grown Concerto barley Full term maturation in first fill American whiskey casks Matured entirely on Islay for five years Bottled unchill-filtered and colouring free at Bruichladdich Distillery Bottled at 59.9% alc./vol Tasting notes: CHARACTER ” Vibrant, punchy and lively initially and then opens up to reveal layers of complexity, instilled through slow distillation, careful maturation and cask selection. A dram that rewards those who seek to discover the mysterious, enigmatic whisky that is Octomore. AROMA ” Opens on zesty citrus freshness and earthy peat smoke. Vanilla sponge cake and barley sugars with rich malt sweetness. Coconut and chocolate, vanilla and caramel follow and as the aromas open further cinder toffee and layers of Peat smoke and honey come to the fore. TASTE ” Peppery and sweet on the palate, with a texture of warm golden syrup. Honey and peat smoke then fired oak chips and peaty apricot jam open. Anther sip brings malted barley sugars and straw, heather flower and a nutty nougat sweetness. A mineral sandy note sits on the palate and brings through a dry phenolic earthy smoke and hints of orange zest and pear drops. FINISH ” The finish brings salted caramel with floral and herbal notes. Honeysuckle, primrose and then gentle peat smoke, as ever, the note that drifts on the longest. COLOUR ” Light gold.

Summary: Octomore 12.2 follows in the footsteps of previous Sauternes legends. The now infamous Octomore 4.2 (Comus) became one of the most acclaimed and sought- after whiskies in their distillery™s portfolio, confirming that heavy peat smoke combined with sweet dessert wine of Sauternes is an incredible pairing. This Octomore 12.2 would spend three and a half years in ex-American oak casks, building a solid foundation of fruity and floral spirit in their lochside warehouses before being recasked in to impeccable quality Sauternes casks. The pivotal role of the Sauternes casks would add 18 months of supercharged fruit. Melon, white peach, honeysuckle and coconut add a real twist and sweetness to compliment the peat smoke of this heavily phenolic malt. Malted to 129.7 PPM Distilled in 2015 from the 2014 harvest of 100% Scottish grown Concerto barley MATURATION PROFILE: A 50/50 combination of 1st and 2nd fill American whiskey casks which were vatted together in 2019 and finished in first fill French sauterne wine casks Matured entirely on Islay for five aged years Bottled unchill-filtered and colouring free at Bruichladdich Distillery Bottled at 57.3% alc./vol Tasting notes: CHARACTER ” The Sauternes casks brings another dimension to the vitality of Octomore. The honey-soaked fruit and dry smoke work beautifully together; that classic combination of smoke and sweet fruit delivers beautifully again. AROMA ” Beautiful notes of melon, honey and smoked almonds initially. Toasted oak and earthy smoke are held back by layers of fruit and honey. There is orange peel, peaches, ripe sweet melon, a lemon and honey combination all wrapped in a malted grain sweetness. Dried apple and pear drops come next with a wave of peat smoke and toasted oak, releasing earthy and pine resin notes. TASTE ” Lusciously soft and sweet as the fruit sweeps across the palate, lemon zest and vanilla pods come to the fore with melon and orange blossom. Another sip highlights the structure the French oak brings with caramel, baking spices and a touch of dryness carrying the smoke and the malt sweetness. Always the presence of ripe fruit drizzled in syrup speaks of the influence of the Sauternes casks. FINISH ” On the finish, a salty lemon tang arrives as the fruit and oak fade a little. That lovely earthy peat smoke moves in to dominate the finish and stamp the Octomore DNA all over this dram. COLOUR ” Amber.

Summary: Octomore has challenged convention since its conception in 2008. While many preconceived ideas have been overturned, perhaps the most provocative stigma to be shattered is that which surrounds age. Does older necessarily mean better? Distilled in 2016 from the 2015 harvest, this Octomore at three years old is the youngest ever released but perhaps the most impressive. Standing alone in any heavyweight line-up, the depth, balance and composure of its component parts are astounding. Twenty-eight casks cut from Limousin oak have been subjected to a high toast before making their way to Warehouse 12 for filling. These Virgin oak casks often have a high tannin impact which can be bitter and overpowering, but a high toast has lessened the tannic impact, giving way to a dry fruit character that is impeccably well-rounded. Full term French virgin oak maturation DISTILLERY NOTES: Distilled in 2016 from the 2015 harvest 100% Scottish grown Concerto barley 88 PPM Bottled at 63.5% Alc./Vol Non-chill Filtered and Colouring free From Bruichladdich Distillery
