This is the result of aging the most heavily peated Scotch, with 167 ppm of phenols, in Limousin Oak from Aquitaine, France that previously housed eau de vie. The Octomore 06.2 is a limited edition, single malt whisky from Bruichladdich and is only available as a Travel Retail exclusive.

Strong on the nose with notes of strong peaty smoke and fired oak. On the pallets it is surprisingly less hard hitting with strong notes of peat, smoke, iodine and oak. Small undertones of dark forest fruit.
Not nearly as smoky as the rest of the line. Mouthfeel and finish are almost closer to what I might stereotype as a Highlands profile. Prunes.
Heavily peated, sweet and thick. Flavors of salted caramel, apricots jam and smoked cheese. Super complex
Sweet malty peat aromas, sticky glazed bbq meats palate, rich, satisfying!
Smoke comes after the first swallow. So many flavours.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
