Bruichladdich 5 Years Old Octomore 09.3

Octomore 09.3 is a bold 5-year-old Islay single malt from Bruichladdich, crafted using 100% Islay-grown barley from Irene’s Field at Octomore Farm. This limited edition release highlights Bruichladdich's obsession with provenance and complexity. The whisky was matured in an eclectic mix of casks: 25% first-fill American oak, 25% third-fill virgin oak, 20% second-fill Rivesaltes, 20% second-fill Syrah, and 10% second-fill bourbon casks. The result is an earthy, smoky, and maritime dram with deep layers of sweetness and spice. Bottled at a powerful 62.9% ABV.

Nose: Burnt herbs, toasted oak, fresh grass, soft vanilla, and dense smoke

Palate: Heavy peat, black tea, honey, golden syrup, and coastal brine
