Bruichladdich Octomore 16.3 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky pushes the boundaries of peat like no other. Malted to an intense 189.5 PPM from barley grown exclusively on Octomore Farm, this whisky is a true expression of terroir and smoke combined. It’s not just about being bold — it’s about capturing the soul of Islay in every drop.

This 5-year-old powerhouse matures in a unique mix of bourbon, Sauternes, and Pedro Ximénez casks, creating a rich, layered profile that balances raw peat with luscious wine cask sweetness. Bottled at a robust 61.6% ABV and non chill filtered, it retains its full flavor and character, making every sip an intense experience.

On the nose, expect a complex dance of honeyed malt, toasted grains, orchard fruits, and gentle smoke with hints of saline minerals and delicate florals. The peat here is powerful but surprisingly refined, letting the malt and fruit notes shine through.

The palate is a bold yet intricate journey. Flavors of orchard fruit compote, citrus peel, salted caramel, gentle spice, brine, and dark chocolate weave together seamlessly. The finish is long, smoky, and layered, leaving a lasting impression that’s as complex as it is satisfying.

Octomore 16.3 stands as the pinnacle of the series — a whisky for those who want extremes without sacrificing elegance. It’s a rare glimpse into how far peat can be pushed while maintaining clarity and finesse.
