Product details
Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 16.1 represents the bold, boundary-pushing philosophy of the Bruichladdich brand on Islay, where place, raw materials, and transparency define every release. Known for exploring extreme intensity with elegance, Octomore 16.1 showcases remarkable balance despite its powerful reputation. Shaped by coastal influences and carefully selected Scottish-grown grain, this edition delivers depth, precision, and surprising finesse, presenting a refined yet commanding profile that reflects both innovation and respect for origin.
The aroma opens with sea spray and fresh orchard fruits, layered with delicate floral tones of dried heather and camomile, followed by hints of vanilla bean and toasted almond. On the palate, rich notes of salted caramel, honeyed melon, and ripe apricot unfold, joined by cinnamon, star anise, chocolate, and coconut. A gentle mineral earthiness and coastal salinity add dimension, leading into a long, persistent finish accented by black pepper, toffee, and lingering seaside character. This expressive profile pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted root vegetables, dark chocolate desserts, or aged cheeses, enhancing both savory depth and subtle sweetness.
