The Octomore Edition 04.1 is a rare and exceptional whisky boasting a highly peated character, certified at an impressive 167 ppm, making it the most heavily peated Octomore to date. Crafted by Bruichladdich Distillery, this Islay whisky has been matured for 5 years in fresh American oak casks and bottled in 2011 with an ABV of 62.5%. The nose opens with a heat-haze of peat smoke, bog myrtle, heather, wild thyme, and juniper, evolving into a beautiful floral bouquet of yellow, riverside, summer flowers, barley fields just before harvest, sweet vanilla notes of Bourbon-soaked oak, and a touch of lemon zest and clover honey. The palate is lean and muscular, featuring a smoldering heat of a heath fire, maintaining an extraordinary balance of aromas and flavors achieved through slow distillation, the tightest middle cut ever, and maturation in fresh American oak casks. The finish is a long, winding road of mellowness, ending on a beautiful sunset of smoke and fruit syrup, highlighting its 100% Islay DNA. This whisky reveals itself slowly, becoming more and more enticing with every sip. As the fourth annual release in the world's peatiest whisky series, Octomore Edition 04.1 is a must-try for whisky enthusiasts.
