Description
Octomore 10.2 70CL is originally released for the Travel Retail market. This series of Octomore releases from Islay’s Bruichladdich explored the idea of “”softer smoke””, rather than the all-out peat bombshells the preceded them.
It spent its first four years maturing in ex-American whiskey casks before being moved over to Sauternes casks for the final four years.
Tasting Notes:
Nose Charred lemons on a BBQ, fragrant malt and maple syrup on pancakes.
Palate Honeyed cereal, juicy peach and pear. A kick of earthy peat gives it some salinity along the way.
Finish Citrus zest returns, plus dried mango, meaty barley and red pepper flakes.
