Description
The Terroir of Peat
Octomore Edition 17.3 is Bruichladdich’s exploration of Scottish barley provenance through the lens of extreme peat. Matured for 5 years and bottled at 121.8 PPM, this super-heavily peated limited edition showcases how terroir shapes even the most intensely smoky of spirits, delivering a whisky of rare depth and distinction.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Bold peat smoke intertwined with ripe stone fruit, toasted oak, vanilla cream, and a hint of coastal minerality.
- Palate: Full-bodied and rich — waves of smoke give way to honeyed malt, dark cherry, espresso, and warm baking spice.
- Finish: Monumentally long, with smoldering embers, sweet dried fruit, and a lingering earthy warmth.
