The Bruichladdich Octomore OBA Concept OBA C 0.1 is a distinctive and limited-edition whisky, embodying the innovative spirit of the Bruichladdich Distillery. Bottled in 2017 and limited to just 3,000 bottles, this exceptional release features a vatting of 10 casks, resulting in a rich and complex profile. Each 500ml bottle boasts a potent ABV of 59.7%. Nestled on the picturesque Rhinns of Islay, the renowned Bruichladdich Distillery has crafted this whisky with meticulous care under the guidance of Head Distiller Adam Hannett. The nose presents an intricate medley of peat smoke, bracken, leather, tobacco pouches, bog myrtle, and briny waves, highlighted by nutty oak notes from both French and American casks. The French oak influence is particularly remarkable, imparting sophisticated aromatics and flavors. Subtle hints of raisiny botrytis from Premier Cru Superieur Sauternes intermingle with pear syrup, apricot, candied fruit, guava, passion fruit, and citrus fruits. On the palate, this whisky offers a supernatural symphony of flavors. The initial smoky attack is soon complemented by citrusy and sulphury notes, followed by a delightful sweetness of red fruits like raspberries and forest strawberries, a touch of chocolate, and a pinch of salt. The medium-weight character and rich, sweet, and mellow texture are beautifully balanced by the viscosity of the Sauternes, taming the powerful peat. The finish is exceptionally long, with lingering notes of smoke, bonfire, and resinous undertones. This whisky represents Bruichladdich’s daring adventure into the sublime, offering an unforgettable experience for those who appreciate complexity and depth in their dram. FAQs
