Octomore Edition: 16.3 Super Heavily Peated (189.5 ppm) /61.6%/ 0.7 L

Octomore Edition 16.3 is one of the most uncompromising releases in Bruichladdich Distillery’s iconic series, created for enthusiasts of intense experiences.With a phenol content of 189.5 ppm , it ranks among the world’s peatiest whiskies; however—as befits an Octomore—the intense smokiness is only part of a much more complex story.This edition proves that an extreme level of peat can harmonize with elegance, depth, and extraordinary precision of flavor.

Scottish barley from a single farm was used in the production, which clearly highlights the influence of the terroir and the character of the island of Islay.The whiskey was aged in carefully selected American oak barrels, resulting in intense notes of smoke and ash that are perfectly balanced by hints of vanilla, honey, caramel, and ripe fruit.Bottled with a natural alcohol content of 61.6% , unfiltered at cold temperatures and with no added caramel, it preserves the full range of aromas and the authentic character of the distillate.

The aroma is dominated by powerful waves of peaty smoke, the heat of a campfire, a sea breeze, and smoky notes, accompanied by hints of citrus, malt, vanilla, and the delicate sweetness of honey.On the palate, the whiskey delights with its creamy texture, offering a blend of intense peat with notes of pepper, toasted nuts, caramel, lemony freshness, and subtle minerality.The long, warming finish leaves a lingering impression of ash, smoke, spices, and sweet oak, which continue to evolve in the glass for quite some time.

Octomore Edition 16.3 is a whiskey for discerning collectors and Islay enthusiasts—a unique interpretation of peat that demonstrates that even the most intensely peaty distillate can be exceptionally refined.This is a limited edition, prized by connoisseurs around the world and one of the most sought-after releases in each new Octomore series.Perfect for slow sipping, it allows you to discover new layers of flavor with every sip, offering an experience that will linger in your memory for a long time.
