Octomore EDITION: 15.1 Super Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt Limited Release 2024 59.1% ABV 0.7l in a tin box online kaufen

The Octomore EDITION: 15.1 Super Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt Limited Release 2024 59.1% comes from the Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay and serves as the stylistic benchmark within the Octomore range against which the other editions in the series are measured. The whisky was distilled in 2018 from the 2017 harvest and produced exclusively from 100% Concerto barley from the Scottish mainland. The exceptionally heavily peated malt boasts an impressive phenol content of 108.2 PPM and defines the uncompromisingly smoky character of the bottling. Following distillation, the single malt was matured for five years in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks and re-charred ex-bourbon casks, resulting in intense peaty smoke blending with sweet malt, vanilla and richly toasted oak.

With an alcohol content of 59.1%, the Octomore 15.1 Limited Release 2024 is particularly powerful and concentrated, yet remains astonishingly complex. The bourbon cask maturation brings out notes of vanilla cream, toffee and sweet charred oak, whilst mango, banana, apricot and citrus fruits provide fresh contrasts. Earthy peat smoke and maritime notes underline the typical Islay single malt character. The 0.7-litre bottle in a tin box also makes this limited edition particularly attractive to collectors and an ideal high-quality gift. As the foundation of the Octomore 15 series, the 15.1 demonstrates particularly clearly how intensely peated malt and American oak can harmonise with one another.

Tasting Note

Colour: Pale gold, like winter sunshine.

Nose: Intense, with caramel, lively citrus notes and dry, earthy peat smoke, followed by aniseed, vanilla and vanilla cream, as well as tropical fruits, geranium and a hint of ginger.

Palate: Powerful and warming with sweet, dry malt and dense peaty smoke, complemented by mango, banana and apricot jam, as well as vanilla cream, toffee and subtle maritime notes.

Finish: Long-lasting and intense, with peaty smoke, vanilla, sweet charred oak and a fresh maritime note.

The Octomore 15.1 is best enjoyed neat at around 18 to 20 °C, although a few drops of still water can bring out additional fruity, smoky and maritime notes. Dark chocolate, smoked meat, strong hard cheese or roasted nuts pair particularly well with the intense peaty smoke and charred oak. Desserts featuring vanilla, caramel or apricot also provide an exciting contrast to the pronounced smokiness. Thanks to its tin box, this bottling is also particularly suitable as a gift or for collectors of limited-edition Octomore releases.
