Bruichladdich Distillery Islay – Octomore Edition 15.3

Bruichladdich Distillery Islay – Octomore Edition 15.3 Super Heavily Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

A Tribute to Islay Barley & the Pinnacle of Peat

From the renegade minds at Bruichladdich Distillery comes one of the most extraordinary expressions in modern Scotch: Octomore 15.3, a super-heavily peated single malt crafted entirely from Islay-grown barley. This edition stands as a bold testament to provenance, purity, and the distillery’s obsession with pushing whisky boundaries — proving once again that peat intensity can still deliver nuance, elegance, and terroir-driven complexity.

Key Features

• Super Heavily Peated Octomore release with extreme phenol levels

• Distilled exclusively from 100% Islay-grown barley, showcasing true island terroir

• Matured on Islay, shaped by marine air, Atlantic winds, and coastal climate

• Limited edition release within the celebrated 15.x series

• Bottled at natural color & non-chill filtered to preserve full character

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Explosive peat smoke intertwined with warm malt, coastal salinity, lemon oil, smoked vanilla, and toasted oak. Hints of orchard fruit and earthy spice rise beneath the smoke.
Palate: Intense yet refined — waves of peat, baked citrus, sweet barley, charred honeycomb, and sea spray move across the tongue. Rich oak, peppered toffee, and smoked almonds add remarkable depth.
Mouthfeel: Viscous, warm, powerful, and layered with surprising elegance for such a heavily peated whisky.
Finish: Long, smoky, mineral-driven, with lingering embers, oak spice, and a clean maritime fade.

Awards (Series Recognition & Distillery Accolades)

While Octomore 15.3 itself is a newer edition, the Octomore series has been widely celebrated:

• Consistently rated among the world’s most innovative peated whiskies

• Multiple accolades for barley provenance and sustainability

• High praise for pushing the boundaries of peat while maintaining balance and finesse

Overall Expression

Octomore 15.3 is not simply a heavily peated whisky — it’s a masterclass in barley expression, distillation artistry, and the raw character of Islay itself. For collectors, peat enthusiasts, and adventurous drinkers, this edition stands tall as one of Bruichladdich’s most compelling releases: fierce, elegant, and unmistakably Octomore.
