Product details
Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 15.2 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinctive expression that highlights the innovative and experimental character of the Octomore series. Crafted from Scottish-grown barley malted to 108.2 PPM, this release follows the same foundation as Octomore 15.1 while exploring a more intricate maturation journey. The whisky is matured in a combination of second-fill bourbon casks and second-fill wine casks before receiving a finishing period in first-fill Cognac casks. This carefully considered cask composition creates remarkable depth and elegance, allowing layers of fruit, oak, spice, and maritime character to develop while showcasing the unique identity for which Octomore is renowned.
On the palate, Octomore 15.2 delivers a rich, viscous texture with notes of vanilla custard, caramel, toffee, black pepper, charred oak, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bright accents of sweet citrus, lime zest, lemon meringue pie, tropical fruit, pear drops, and dried apricot add freshness and complexity, while hints of roasted coffee, toasted bread, woody spices, and honey contribute additional depth. The finish is long and expressive, marked by a distinctive coastal character and lingering oak influence. Food pairing suggestions include grilled seafood, roasted lamb, aged cheeses, caramel desserts, crème brûlée, and dark chocolate.
