DESCRIPTION

Octomore 13.3 ist die kraftvolle Verkörperung der wilden Hebrideninsel Islay. Superstark getorft, Inselgerste von der Octomore Farm, die von James Brown nur zwei Meilen von der Brennerei entfernt betrieben wird.

Diese 13. Edition des Octomore Islay Barley reifte zu einem Parcel in First-Fill-Ex-American-Whiskey- Fässern und zu einem zweiten Teil in Second-Fill- European-Oak-Fässern, in denen zuvor Weine aus der Region Rivesaltes (Frankreich) sowie Ribera del Duero (Spanien) lagerten.

Diese ehemaligen Wein-Fässer verleihen dem 13.3 eine feine Struktur, die kräftige Basis allerdings kommt aus den US-Fässern.

Vanille, brauner Zucker und erfrischende grüne Fruchtnoten verschmelzen mit Torfrauch, leichten Teernoten und salziger Meeresgischt zu einem besonders lang anhaltenden Finish.

TASTING NOTES

Nose

Süßer Malzzucker und zu Beginn nur wenig Torfrauch leiten die Nase über grüne Früchte und florale Noten wie Rose und Geranie hin zu Aprikosen und ätherischem Eukalyptus.

Danach erinnert der Duft an Marzipan, Ingwerplätzchen und saftige Honigmelone. Mit einem Tropfen Wasser verstärkt sich schlussendlich der alles ummantelnde Torfrauch.

Palate

Samtige Textur mit süßem Honig und braunem Zucker. Auch hier erscheint zu Beginn der Torfrauch eher wie ein leises Flüstern.

Beim zweiten Schluck erinnert der 13.3 an Zitruszesten und maritime Muschelkalknoten mit verführerisch malzigen Keksaromen, Marzipan und Kokosnuss.

Nun kommt der rauchige Charakter schon etwas mehr zum Vorschein, mit Schuhpolitur und Asche im Schlepp- tau – ohne jedoch die fruchtig-floralen Aromen dieses wunderbaren Malts zu verdecken.

Finish

Der maritime Charakter wie auch der Torfrauch sind jetzt sehr deutlich im Fokus. Im lang anhaltenden, leicht süßlichen Nachklang gesellen sich noch Honig, Zitrone, gekochte Birne, warmer Sand und Marzipan hinzu.

Octomore - Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The Octomore Distillery is known for producing the most heavily peated whisky in the world. The distillery was founded in 2002 on the Scottish island of Islay and is a subsidiary of the Bruichladdich Distillery. The name Octomore comes from a nearby farm that operated its own licensed distillery in the 19th century.
Octomore is famous for its extreme peat levels, measured in phenol parts per million (ppm). The first batch was peated at 80 ppm, but later releases reached levels up to 258 ppm. The highest ever recorded level is 309 ppm. Despite these high peat levels, Octomore offers surprisingly complex flavor profiles with maritime, fruity, floral, and vanilla notes.
Octomore whiskies are typically bottled young, mostly at the age of five years, as this is considered the optimal maturation period to fully showcase the intense peat aromas. Popular releases include Octomore 14.1, 14.2, and 14.3, each aged in different types of casks and bottled with varying peat levels.
Production of Octomore takes place in the narrow-necked stills of the Bruichladdich Distillery, with only about 150,000 liters of Octomore produced annually. Each batch is bottled at natural cask strength, further intensifying the flavors. Distillation is carried out in small batches, and the entire system is flushed after each production to remove phenol residues.
Octomore is known not only for its strong peat aromas but also for its innovation and use of various cask types. For example, Octomore 14.2 is partially aged in Oloroso Hogsheads and Amarone casks, adding additional depth and complexity.
The history of Octomore is closely tied to the history of the Bruichladdich Distillery. After Bruichladdich was taken over by independent bottlers in 2000, Octomore was introduced to meet the demand for heavily peated whiskies. Since then, Octomore has achieved cult status among whisky enthusiasts and is celebrated worldwide for its exceptional and intense flavors.
