Product Overview
Octomore 5 Year Edition 16.3 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
A bold declaration of terroir, peat, and precision, Octomore Edition 16.3 delivers one of the most extraordinary single-malt experiences from Bruichladdich Distillery on the Isle of Islay. Distilled from 100 % Concerto barley grown exclusively in the Church Field at Octomore Farm, this whisky is malted to an astonishing 189.5 ppm of phenols for ultra-heavily peated intensity. Matured for five years in a carefully selected combination of bourbon, Sauternes, and Pedro Ximénez casks, then bottled at 61.6 % ABV, Edition 16.3 reveals the power of place and experimentation in every sip.
Farm-to-Glass Provenance – Entirely from the Church Field on Octomore Farm, Islay; barley, malting, distillation and maturation rooted in one singular location.
Extreme Peat & Youthful Power – Malted at 189.5 ppm and aged five years, this expression boldly showcases what ultra-peated, young Islay whisky can achieve without sacrificing refinement.
Cask Complexity – Matured in a blend of bourbon, Sauternes and Pedro Ximénez casks, the finishing elevates the raw power of peat with layered sweetness, richness and elegant wine-cask nuance.
Flavor Profile – On the nose: blooming heather, distant bonfire smoke, barley sugar, lemon zest and green apple peel. On the palate: honeyed malt, toasted grain, orchard fruits, vanilla, delicate threads of smoke and Islay salinity. Finish: long, warming with subtle floral tones, campfire ashes, citrus and minerality.
Un-chill-filtered, Natural Colour, Crafted for Connoisseurs – Bottled at full strength, no compromise, each drop invites reflection, patience and reward.
Octomore 5 Year Edition 16.3 — where raw Islay barley, peat explosion and cask artistry merge into a whisky for the deeply curious and bold.
