Bruichladdich Octomore 15.2 presents an intense experience characterized by its bold peat smoke and a robust ABV of 57.9%. The nose reveals layers of briny sea air intertwined with notes of green apple and citrus zest. On the palate, it showcases a powerful orchestration of smoke, with the sweetness of vanilla and a hint of toffee providing balance. The mouthfeel is oily and rich, with a finish that lingers, characterized by a peppery kick and a touch of maritime influence.

This expression, crafted from 100% Scottish barley, is distilled in small batches using traditional methods. Octomore 15.2 is notable for its high phenol content of 108.2 ppm, making it one of the peatiest whiskies available. It is aged in a combination of bourbon and French wine casks, contributing complexity to its profile. This iteration reflects Bruichladdich’s commitment to innovation and showcases the unique terroir of Islay.

Islay's Rugged West Coast

Built in 1881, Bruichladdich passed from owner to owner over the next 80 years, eventually closing their on-site maltings in the early 1960s. Demand for this distinctly fruity Islay malt was so great during the 1970s that additional stills were added to allow for an increase in capacity. Whyte and Mackay acquired Bruichladdich in 1993, but shut down production in the mid-1990s, with Murray McDavid taking over operations in the year 2000. The 15 years thereafter saw a golden era for the distillery as many superb older whiskies were assessed by the new owners and bottled as superb limited edition single casks. The core range was reimagined and two new labels were added that allowed for more heavily peated expressions - Octomore and Port Charlotte.

Bruichladdich run two wash stills and two spirit stills, producing around 1.5 millions litres a year and a number of local Lochs provide the water required for the mash, cooling and bottling. Notably, Bruichladdich maintain and use an array of vintage equipment, including a large wooden mash tun and an adjustment Lomond still, which is used in the production of the distillery's Botanist gin.
