Bruichladdich Octomore 15.2 is a striking single malt whisky that showcases the distillery's mastery in crafting heavily peated yet nuanced expressions. Malted to an intense 108.2 PPM, this whisky offers a bold peat character, but with a complexity that comes from its unique maturation journey. Matured in a combination of second-fill wine and second-fill bourbon casks, the whisky is then finished in first-fill Cognac casks, resulting in a multi-layered and sophisticated profile. The influence of the wine casks adds a subtle fruitiness and depth, while the bourbon casks contribute creamy vanilla, caramel, and a touch of oak. The finishing in Cognac casks brings elegance and refinement with notes of dried fruits, spice, and rich warmth.

Tasting Notes

TWB Tasting Notes:

On the nose, Octomore 15.2 opens with a distinctive smoky intensity, characteristic of its high peat levels. The peat smoke is balanced by sweet and fruity aromas from the wine and Cognac cask influences, with notes of ripe red berries, dried apricots, and honeyed figs. Hints of toasted oak, caramel, and a touch of spice round out the nose, with a subtle earthiness adding depth.

The palate is rich and full-bodied, with an immediate burst of powerful peat smoke. As the smoke mellows, layers of flavor begin to unfold. The second-fill wine casks impart fruity notes of dark cherries and plums, while the bourbon casks contribute creamy vanilla, toffee, and a gentle spice. The Cognac finish adds a luxurious richness, with flavors of dried fruits, warming spices, and a hint of nutty sweetness, creating a complex and balanced taste experience.

The finish is long and smoky, with the peat gradually softening to reveal lingering notes of oak, dried fruits, and a delicate spiced warmth. The influence of the Cognac cask brings a refined, elegant touch to the robust smoke, making the aftertaste both intense and sophisticated.

Octomore 15.2 is a perfect marriage of bold peat and intricate cask influences, offering a harmonious and unforgettable tasting journey.
