The Octomore 14.2 is a heavily-peated single malt whisky from Bruichladdich distillery, renowned for its high peat levels and intense smoky flavor profile. Distilled in 2017 from 100% Scottish-grown Concerto barley harvested in 2016, it boasts a peat level of 128.9 PPM. This particular release has been matured for five years in a combination of first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads and first and second fill Amarone casks, resulting in a complex and elegant whisky. The nose opens with cinnamon, leather, waves of smoke, and red fruit, complemented by cereal and subtle tobacco notes. The palate offers astringency from the wine, with barbecue sweetness, fruit cake, and more dried red fruits. The finish is long and smouldering, with salty malted barley. Head Distiller Adam Hannett selected casks that previously held Oloroso and Amarone to create a unique sweet and nutty flavor profile. The final marriage of these cask types results in a whisky that is both complex and refined, with the distinct smoky character of Octomore balanced by the sweet and fruity notes from the Oloroso and Amarone casks. Bottled at 57.7% ABV, this whisky is an excellent example of the innovative and exciting expressions produced by the Bruichladdich distillery.
