Bruichladdich Octomore 02.2 Orpheus Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Recommended , Bruichladdich

“ Bruichladdich isn’t lightly peated anymore. Very similar to the 02.1 release. This Orpheus has an extravagant pink color and the same peat punch than 02.1, slightly more fruity and delicious.”

93
Octomore 02.2 Orpheus
The third release of Bruichladdich's mega-peated whisky Octomore has been finished in casks from Chateau Petrus.

After the collectors sought Octomore 01.1 and the naked Octomore 02.1, Bruichladdich has launched its peat monster finished in casks of one of the world most expensive wines.

Definitively a must try. for any peat head. By the way, Ardbeg also has their own peat monster: Ardbeg Supernova

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (92): inexistent. peat, fruity, peat, marine, a little wood, a little coffee, floral. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (96): . sweet, peat, fruity, red fruits, peat, marine, coffee, wood. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (92): no finish. many peat. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Octomore 02.2 Orpheus with 93 points over 100.
