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 08.1 8 Year Old Masterclass (70cl, 59.3%)
Distilled in 2009 using Scottish barley from the 2008 harvest, this Octomore was peated to a level of 168 PPM. Holy phenolic fireworks Batm’n! (Although this series, counter intuitively, is also known for its relative subtlety.) Matured exclusively in first fill American oak casks (ex-Buffalo Trace, Jim Beam, Heaven Hill and Jack Daniels, if you were wondering), 08.1 has been bottled at a healthy 59.3% abv with neither artificial colouring nor chill filtration.

Bruichladdich Octomore 07.1 5 Year Old (70cl, 59.5%)
Peat fans, hold on to your hats, as here comes another Octomore from the Bruichladdich distillery on Islay!

A 10-year-old Octomore – the beloved peated single malt from Islay’s Bruichladdich distillery. This one finished its maturation with a stay in an oloroso sherry octave, custom-made for the folks at indie bottler Darkness.

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.
