Description
Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 15.2 is a fascinating addition to the 15 series and clearly stands out from the classic 15.1 version due to its exceptional cask maturation. With a phenol content of 108.2 ppm, it remains true to the Octomore trademark - extremely peated Islay single malt with maximum intensity. However, while the 15.1 edition uses bourbon casks, the 15.2 takes a different approach: it combines second-fill wine and bourbon casks with a final maturation in fresh cognac casks. This innovative cask composition gives the whisky a remarkable depth and multi-layered aroma that sets it apart from other Octomore bottlings.
Made from Scottish Concerto barley from the same batch as the 15.1 version, this single malt impressively demonstrates how different cask maturations can influence the character of a whisky. The five-year maturation period on Islay allows the aromas to develop in perfect harmony - from intense smoky and malty notes to fruity, spicy and woody facets, which are given an additional dimension by the cognac cask finish. The edition is bottled at cask strength at 57.9% vol., naturally unfiltered and without colorants to preserve the full depth and authenticity of this exceptional Islay malt.
The stylish tin box packaging underlines the exclusive character of this collector's item and makes Octomore 15.2 a rare, highly prized bottling for lovers of intensely peated whiskies. (automated translation)
