Bruichlad Octomore 12.1 The Impossible Equation / 130.8 PPM

A dram that rewards those who seek to discover the mysterious, enigmatic whisky that is Octomor

NOSE
Crisp, honied orchard fruit, smoke, malt, vanilla pastry, char, baking spice, toffee sweetness and a bit of wax.

This is just plain lovely. It’s warm, it’s fruity, it’s… unexpected.

PALATE
Minerality, smoke, hay-like malt, lemon curd, toffee, herbal spice, dried orchard fruit, honey and some light char and banana chips.

Darker and heavier than the aroma, but also more spirit-forward with the minerality showing through. Like the aroma, the Octomore 12.2 palate has an unexpected delivery and I’m enjoying it.

FINISH
Long -> Smoke, brine, vanilla candy and toffee drift to a dry maltiness.
