Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 63.5%
Bottled in 2019, this 3-year-old Octomore 10.4 was a limited edition of virgin oak casks filled in 2016 and remains one of the youngest ever official bottlings of Bruichladdich's hyper-smoked peat monster whisky.
Octomore Edition 10.4 is peated to 88ppm, a trifle for Octomore but still more than double the phenolicity of Lagavulin or Caol Ila. Combined with an epic bottling strength of 63.5%, this is perhaps not the ideal pick for someone trying smoky whisky for the first time, but Octomore fans will go mad for it.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Colour:Tawny.
Character: A dram of depth and worth taking some time to get to know. Greater than the sum of its parts with each of those parts having an individual story of their own.
Nose: There is a richness, chocolate, tobacco, bonfire smoke, leather. Vanilla custard, blueberry, dry straw and pear drops.
Palate: Warming, spicy – mulled wine. Leather and tobacco, malt sugar, icing sugar. All wrapped in earthy peaty smoke. Dry on the palate.
Finish: Oak driven, coconut, tobacco, vanilla, then smoke. The time in the cask has calmed the smoke, both through the phenols lowering naturally over time and the influence of the oak becoming greater.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
