Bruichladdich Octomore 15.2 is a striking single malt whisky that showcases the distillery’s mastery in crafting heavily peated yet nuanced expressions. Malted to an intense 108.2 PPM, this whisky offers a bold peat character, but with a complexity that comes from its unique maturation journey. Matured in a combination of second-fill wine and second-fill bourbon casks, the whisky is then finished in first-fill Cognac casks, resulting in a multi-layered and sophisticated profile. The influence of the wine casks adds a subtle fruitiness and depth, while the bourbon casks contribute creamy vanilla, caramel, and a touch of oak. The finishing in Cognac casks brings elegance and refinement with notes of dried fruits, spice, and rich warmth.
