Bruichladdich Octomore 01.1 Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Bruichladdich

“Liquid peat ambrosia. Tasty!.”

91
The now very rare first release of Bruichladdich’s Octomore. When it was released it was the world’s peatiest whisky, with phenol levels of 131ppm. This has since been eclipsed by the astonishing peaty punch of the second edition, but this will remain the original!

This dram has a fino-like color.

Nose (90): strong. some peat, iodine, floral, pears, wood.

Palate (93): oily, powerful. some peat, iodine, floral, honey, salt.

Finish (91): very long. peat, floral, a little honey.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Bruichladdich Octomore 01.1 with 91 points over 100.
