Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 56.3%

Score: 93 Points

This 2023 release of the 10-year-old Octomore from Bruichladdich has a peaty, smoky nose balanced by dried fruits, heather, honey, and a touch of apples. The taste is peaty and phenolic, with notes of peppercorns, dried fruits, honey, and vanilla. The finish is very long and smoky with touches of dried fruits and honey. Excellent!
