Bruichladdich Octomore 02.1 Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Recommended , Bruichladdich

“ Splash! Peat! Splash! More peat! Splash! Octomore! Peat, sea, Islay, awesome whisky from Bruichladdich at an incredible peat level of 140ppm.”

93
Octomore Edition 02.1
This is the second release of Bruichladdich's Octomore, the world's most heavily-peated whisky at 140ppm. This year's edition comes in at 62.5% and promises to be another treat for brave peat-freaks.

Launched after the collectors sought Octomore 01.1

Definitively a must try. for any peat head. By the way, Ardbeg also has their own peat monster: Ardbeg Supernova
TODO: Check if strength is 62.5% or 62%

This dram has a white-like color.

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

Palate (96): . sweet, hot, peat, peat, marine, a little red fruits, cocoa. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (92): no finish. peat, peat, iodine. 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 Edition 02.1 with 93 points over 100.
