Old Particular Octomore 10 Year Old 2012

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 48.4%

One of only a few Octomore IBs. OBs are usually bottled at 5 Years to keep the richness of the phenols compact and tight. As phenols soften with age, this 10 year old Octomore is a more refined and subtle version that even those relatively new to peated whiskies may find approachable.

This 10-year-old Octomore, hailing from the renowned Bruichladdich distillery on Islay, Scotland, embodies the distillery’s signature strong smoky character. Aged in a refill barrel, this whisky was bottled by independent bottler Douglas Laing. Only 308 bottles available.

Tasting Note

Nose

Soft, sweet peat smoke with hints of dried fruit and light, fresh spices.

Palate

Honey tones up front, balanced with a rounded orange flavour and slightly ashy.

Finish

A subtle combination of flavours on the nose and palate, but quite long-lasting.
