Bruichladdich Octomore 15.2 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
"A killer whisky." - drinkhacker.com
Other reviews... Aged in second-fill wine casks (42%) and second-fill bourbon casks (58%). Recasked in 2023 into first-fill Cognac casks. 108.2 ppm, 5 years old. A departure for Octomore x.2, which moves beyond wine cask finishing into Cognac. A wildly different animal, sharp and fruity on the nose, with a sweetness that, when paired with the peat, evokes notes of grilled peaches. That banana is still there, as is a tropical mix of pineapple and coconut, plus some soothing almond butter notes on top. Sweet and smoky on the palate, in equal measure: more of that grilled fruit, nutty almond husks, then a smattering of green herbs. Increasingly peppery on the finish, with an echo of barbecued beef. A light touch of raisin evokes the Cognac cask, but it’s never in-your-face in the slightest, just a gentle touch of grape jam and a hint of lavender, set against the backdrop of the sea. A killer whisky. 115.8 proof. - drinkhacker.com
...For me, this imparted some tannins to the spirit, but also a mild bitterness. Yes, extremely complex, but with a flavour profile that I confess didn’t entirely gel with me. (Such judgements are, of course, entirely individual and subjective…my colleagues sitting alongside me at the event voted this their favourite.) - whiskyandwisdom.com
... this one is more tropical and herbal than 15.1, with a smoky citrus palate and notes of toasted oak, cinnamon, coffee and chocolate. - insidehook.com
