Bruichladdich Octomore 10.1 5 Year Old (70cl, 59.8%)
The first release from the Bruichladdich’s Octomore 10 series, this expression was aged for 5 years in a selection of first-fill American whiskey casks (from the likes of Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, Buffalo Trace and Jack Daniel’s). Not quite as absurdly peated as previous Octomore expressions, Bruichladdich says that it’s exploring “a different realm of ‘softer smoke'”. It’s still sitting at 107PPM.
Bruichladdich Octomore 09.1 Dialogos 5 Year Old (70cl, 59.1%)
An enjoyably punchy and heavily peated single malt from Bruichladdich’s Octomore range. Octomore 09.1 sets out to challenge the idea that older means better when it comes to whisky, and it does so by offering up a 5 year old Islay whisky weighing in at 156 PPM, matured in ex-American whiskey casks. Pleasing, they’ve even let us know exactly where those casks came from – they were 51% Jim Beam, 26% Jack Daniel’s, 15% Clermont and 8% Old Grand-Dad casks.
Bruichladdich Octomore 08.4 8 Year Old Masterclass Virgin Oak (70cl, 58.7%)
Octomore 8.4, the last in this masterclass series, was created to examine the effect of virgin oak on Bruichladdich’s intensely peaty spirit. (The Scottish barley for this edition was peated to 170ppm.) To achieve a balance of smoke and oak characteristics, 20% of the whisky was matured exclusively in virgin oak, while 80% was aged in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and then finished in European virgin oak, which had previously held Octomore 7.4.
The result is a rich and complex dram with notes such as praline, coconut and clove matched by those of barbeque, burnt heather and iodine.
