Octomore 13.1

Nose: Heavy Earthy Peat Moss, Earthy Pepper, Salinity, Sugar Cookie Vanilla, Wet Charcoal, Sharpie, Under- Ripe Banana, Over-Ripe Apple, Decaying White Flowers. Palate: Full Oily Body, Brine, Pepper, Malt, Heavy Honey, Vanilla, Ripe Apple, Ash, Heavy Earthy Peat Smoke, Ripe Banana, Long Meaty Protein Smokey finish. The best way to deacribe this whisky; Like eating a sugar cookie thats been left in a peat bog. What a phenomenal bottle of whisky! I am absolutely blown away by the myriad of flavors and smells one can experience in this bottle. Such unique smells that remind me of hikes I've done on the Washington coast line that cross large peat bogs.Ripe and under ripe fruits that co-exist with decaying wild flowers. Charcoal, ash, wet cinders, heavysmoke. Absolutely incredible! This has to be one of the best whiskies I've had if not the best. Even if it did cost me almost $300 in my market. I am so happy to have been able to enjoy it and experience it and have shared it with friends, co workers, family. Dont forget to share your whisky folks, it is better enjoyed with those you care about than just by yourself. My bottle is almost gone so I figured it was about time I wrote a review on it. If you ever happen across one, BUY IT!!! For a reasonable price of course....or maybe even slightly unreasonable.

Color ambar con cierta translucidez. En nariz predomina la sal con carnes que recuerda a un jamon crudo pero con bastante complejidad y muchas capas. Malvavisco en un contexto amplio: floral, frutos secos, frutos rojos, áspero y chocolatoso, fondo dulce con puntas amargas. Una complejidad en momentos difícil de descifrar. En boca en esta complejidad predomina un dulce oucante y astringente, cierto caramelo. Final aún mas fulce y una suavidad que contrasta con la agresividad en boca. Final largo y cálido.

Aye! Another stupendous showing for the Octomore Series. 13.1 delivers yet again a smoky peary liquid with a rise of flavours as sip away. Again once you move through the smoke fulled door the smokey peaty flavours are no longer the point of interest. Creamy tastes of dark chocolate and orange will fill your palate. Down right delicious.

Nose: singing, powerful peat, sea spray Palate: typical bourbon cask influence, lemon, cream earthy peat, not much smoke Finish: earthiness lingers, salty, smoke Definitely a lot of peat but not as much as I expected. Would be better if it was more smoke forward rather than “earthy” forward. Still tasty nonetheless.

Smoke, bandaids with sweet grain and fruit, which sounds off-putting but it's fantastic, It's expensive (the only reason I didn't give out 5 starts) vbut, in my opinion, definitely worth it, 100% would buy again if I have the available cash when I find it.

Nose : campfire, funky meats, salt dank stank, light iodine, band aid, light fruit. Like a foggy morning on the ocean. Taste: Meaty, super campfire, fruity smoked meats. It opens your mouth and forces you to enjoy it. Wow this one kills!
