About the product
Bruichladdich Octomore 16.2 is a super heavily peated Islay single malt that combines intense smoke with layered cask influence, delivering both power and complexity. Part of the Octomore series, it is crafted to explore how different cask types interact with extreme peat levels.
On the palate, it opens with a bold wave of peat smoke, followed by notes of dried fruit, caramel, and toasted oak. Hints of citrus zest and vanilla add brightness, while underlying spice and subtle chocolate tones bring depth and balance.
The texture is rich and oily, carrying the high phenolic intensity with surprising smoothness. The finish is long and evolving, with lingering smoke, sweet spice, and a touch of oak.
Dynamic and expressive, Octomore 16.2 offers a complex interpretation of heavily peated whisky, ideal for those who appreciate both intensity and cask-driven nuance.
