Octomore 14.3 5 Year Old

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 61.4%

The Bruichladdich brand has created another fascinating and fiery selection and completing the collection from the 2023's releases is Octomore 14.3. Another super-peaty treat, this one was distilled using only locally grown barley malted to a heavy 214.2 ppm and then aged in a combination of bourbon casks and second-fill wine casks.

Finish

Spearmint and sea breeze with hints of spiced fruit and black tea smokiness.
