Octomore 10.1 Islay single malt 5 years 750 ml

Octomore 10.1 is a heavily peated single malt Scotch whisky from Bruichladdich's Octomore range on Islay, known for using some of the highest phenol (peat) levels in the whisky world. Matured 5 years, younger than most single malts, to keep the smoke and grain character direct and intense. Expect a nose of overwhelming peat smoke and tar, a bold, powerful palate of smoke and sweetness, and a very long, smoky finish. It suits experienced peat-lovers seeking the most extreme smoky whisky on the shelf.

How to drink Octomore 10.1

Its extreme peat level is worth trying neat first in a small pour, since even a little water can shift the balance dramatically.
