The Octomore 10yo Dialogos 2018 3rd Limited Release is an exceptional whisky from the renowned Bruichladdich Distillery, situated in the Islay region. This limited release of 12,000 bottles showcases the distillery's expertise in whisky making. Distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2018, this cask strength whisky boasts an ABV of 56.8% and is matured for 10 years in a unique and complex aging process. The barley used for this whisky was malted to an impressive 167 ppm, resulting in a bold and intense smoky character.
The whisky owes its distinct flavor profile to its maturation in a combination of different cask types: 37% in first-fill port wine casks, 31% in first-fill cognac casks, 20% in second-fill American white oak casks, and 12% spent 3 years in first-fill ex-American bourbon casks, followed by 2 years in virgin oak, and an additional 6 years in ex-American whisky barrels. This intricate aging process imparts a layered and multifaceted flavor, characterized by sweet and smoky notes. Presented in a striking black bottle, the Octomore 10yo Dialogos is a testament to Bruichladdich's innovative spirit and dedication to quality.
