The Octomore Edition 13.2 is an extraordinary whisky from the renowned Bruichladdich Distillery, located in the iconic Islay region. With an ABV of 58.3%, this edition continues the legacy of being one of the most heavily peated whiskies globally, boasting an impressive 137.3 PPM. Distilled in 2016 using 100% Scottish barley and matured exclusively in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks from Fernando de Castilla, this whisky is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. This 5-year-old whisky underwent a unique aging process that sets it apart from its sibling, the 13.1 edition, by being matured in Oloroso sherry casks. Bottled in 2022 without cold filtration or coloring, Octomore 13.2 focuses on showcasing the profound influence of cask selection on its final flavor profile. The result is a symphony of thick peaty smoke, intertwined with notes of candied orange peel, dried fruits, and nuts, leading to a zesty orange finish. Critics and fans alike have been eagerly awaiting the marriage of Octomore's intense peat with the richness of sherry casks. The nose reveals an enticing blend of smoke, sherry, chocolate, wild berries, and caramel, with a fleshy undertone that becomes more pronounced with a few drops of water. On the palate, bold flavors of smoke, asphalt, tar, and fire are balanced by emerging sweetness and dark berry fruitiness, culminating in a long-lasting finish that stimulates the flow of saliva and leaves a pleasant greasy smokiness with subtle sweetness. This whisky exemplifies the artistry of whisky-making, highlighting the impact of meticulous cask selection and peating levels on the final product. It's a beautifully made whisky that can be enjoyed as an all-day dram, with a few drops of water to enhance its complex profile.
Octomore Edition 13.2 is unique due to its maturation in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks from Fernando de Castilla, which imparts rich, complex flavors to its heavily peated profile.
While both editions were distilled in 2016 and share the same barley source, the 13.2 edition is aged in Oloroso sherry casks, whereas the 13.1 edition is not, leading to distinct flavor differences.
Octomore Edition 13.2 has a peating level of 137.3 PPM, making it one of the most heavily peated whiskies in the world.
Octomore Edition 13.2 is a remarkable whisky that showcases the art of peat and sherry cask maturation. The marriage of intense smoke with rich, sweet undertones creates a complex and pleasing dram. It's a testament to Bruichladdich's innovative approach to whisky-making, and a few drops of water truly enhance its multidimensional profile. This edition is not only a delight for Octomore fans but also a fascinating exploration for any whisky enthusiast.
