About this bottle

Octomore 11.2 is one of four releases in the 11s series from Bruichaddich's super heavily-peated range. It is made from 100% Scottish-grown barley (Concerto & Propino barley) harvested in 2013 and distilled in winter 2014. The barley was malted to 139.6 ppm and the spirit was split into two parcels. Both parcels aged for 5 years. Parcel one matured fully in ex-European oak wine barrels from Pauillac made up 25% of the bottling. Parcel two initially matured in ex-American oak whiskey casks and then transferred to former Saint-Julien wine casks from May 2018-January 2020. Then the two parcels were married and bottled at 58.6% ABV without added color or chill-filtration. Available October 2020.

Nose: Wet wood smoke, Germoline, medicinal, chemical, fruit (pear and berries). Pino Grigo white wine. Palate: Full-bodied, rich and chewy. Toasted wood smoke, BBQ meat, sweet damp peat, plum jam. Hints of Amaretto. Finish: Long finish. Creamy/buttery, wood smoke, vanilla cream, plum, pear. Meat, leather and cigar smoke on the aftertaste. Sweet and woody more than peaty, despite the ridiculous PPM. This tastes of wood panelled offices, old wingback leather chairs, fast cars and austentatious luxury. More of a feeling than a taste. Wow, just wow! Damn! That's a good dram!
