Bruichladdich Octomore Single Malt Scotch Whisky Edition 17.3 Super Heavily Peated

Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 17.3 Super Heavily Peated is an exceptionally bold Islay single malt that showcases the remarkable intensity, complexity, and depth for which the Octomore series is renowned. This limited-edition expression brings together heavily peated Scottish barley and carefully selected maturation to create a whisky where powerful smoke is balanced by layers of rich malt, fruit, sweetness, and oak.

Edition 17.3 offers a particularly distinctive expression of Octomore’s heavily peated style, with an intense smoky character complemented by notes of dried fruit, vanilla, toasted grain, caramel, and warm spice. Despite its extraordinary peat presence, the whisky maintains an elegant underlying structure that develops beautifully with each sip.
