Bruichladdich Octomore 16.2 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Other reviews... 5 years old; aged in a complex configuration of oloroso and Bordeaux casks for 4 years, then finished in Madeira and Portuguese Moscatel for its final year. 101.4 ppm phenols. The finishing wine casks have had a field day with this one, creating an experience that is incredibly full of fruit and sweetness – lemon curd and loads of orange blossom honey dominate a sharp, citrus-fueled nose. The palate is incredibly sharp and wine-forward from the jump, here the fruit showing a more oxidized quality, with a hint of the apricot notes evident in 16.1. The fortified wine will not be ignored for long, though, as the finish explodes with a huge resurgence of oxidized wine mixed in with dried tea leaves. Water is particularly instructive here, though it does give the peat a peppery punch. Be prepared to linger with this one’s outsized flavor profile. 116.2 proof. - drinkhacker.com

...A typical Octomore with a distinctive smoke profile, clean bourbon barrel aging, and a beautiful balance between sweetness, wood, and peat. - whiskybase.com
