The Octomore Edition 11.3 Dialogos 194 PPM Islay Barley Irene's Field 5yo is a single malt whisky from the eleventh series of Octomore, Bruichladdich's super-heavily peated expression. This five-year-old release is crafted from barley grown on the Octomore farm on Islay and matured in ex-American whiskey casks sourced from Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, Heaven Hill, and Buffalo Trace for five years. Bottled at a robust 61.7% ABV, this whisky exemplifies the peaty, Islay-influenced style for which Octomore is renowned.
Part of Bruichladdich's limited edition releases, the Octomore 11.3 is distinguished by its informative numbering system. The '.3' signifies that this single malt is made from 100% Islay-grown barley from a single farm. Specifically, the Concerto barley was grown in a coastal area by James Brown, a friend of the distillery, known for his dedication to maintaining the quality and character of Islay's agricultural heritage.
This whisky stands out for its intense peat smoke and maritime character, alongside its unadulterated, high proof. The distillation techniques employed in the production of Octomore facilitate the slow extraction of aromas from the barley, resulting in a unique flavor profile strongly influenced by the terroir of Islay.
Overall, the Octomore Edition 11.3 is a highly sought-after whisky, coveted by those who appreciate heavily peated, cask-strength expressions. Its limited availability and cult following make it a must-try for whisky connoisseurs and collectors alike.
The Octomore Edition 11.3 is unique due to its use of 100% Islay-grown barley from a single farm and its exceptionally high peat level of 194 PPM, offering an intense and distinct flavor profile.
The maturation in ex-American whiskey casks from distilleries like Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, Heaven Hill, and Buffalo Trace adds layers of complexity, introducing notes of vanilla, honey, and citrus that complement the intense peat smoke.
The high ABV of 61.7% in the Octomore Edition 11.3 enhances its flavor intensity, providing a bold and robust tasting experience that amplifies the peat and maritime characteristics of this Islay malt.
The Octomore Edition 11.3 Dialogos is a monumental release from Bruichladdich, showcasing the distillery's mastery in crafting super-heavily peated whiskies. The use of Islay-grown barley and maturation in ex-American whiskey casks imparts a unique character that is both intensely smoky and intricately layered with sweet and fruity nuances. At 61.7% ABV, this whisky offers an unparalleled tasting experience that is sure to captivate both connoisseurs and collectors. A true testament to the art of whisky-making on Islay.
