Bruichladdich Octomore 11.1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Inspired by an entrepreneurial flair and a youthful enthusiasm, the Harvey brothers began construction of the Bruichladdich (pronounced brook-laddie or broo-lah-dee) Distillery in 1881. The brothers were descendants of a dynastic whisky family — their ancestors had already owned distilleries in Scotland for over a century. Today, Bruichladdich Distillery (Bruichladdich means "rocky shore" in ancient Gaelic) remains situated on the shores of Loch Indaal on the island of Islay, and continues to use much of the original equipment installed by the Harvey brothers to craft a range of single malt whiskies that are trickle distilled, matured, and bottled on Islay. The modern Bruichladdich Distillery is known as the most experimental and adventurous of the Scottish distilleries, implementing revolutionary, modern interpretations of time-honored ideas and challenging the comfortable conventions of a whisky establishment. The Octomore series is the embodiment of this philosophy. Rejecting the onset of modern automation and homogenization, Bruichladdich's Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, only considers production methods that place the quality of liquid above everything else.

Tasting Notes

Lemon, grassy, earthy, and brine notes lead the charge on the nose, followed by rubbery, medicinal peat smoke. Honey, malt, and green fruit follow. The palate has brown sugar, some heat, stone fruit, vanilla, toasted oak, and toffee. The mineral earthiness and citrus give way to plenty of bonfire and tar smoke on the finish with lingering honey, vanilla, and spice.
