The Octomore EDITION: 15.1 Super Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt Limited Release 2024 59.1% comes from the Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay and, as the 15.1, serves as the stylistic benchmark within the Octomore range. The whisky was distilled in 2018 from the 2017 harvest and produced exclusively from 100 per cent Concerto barley from the Scottish mainland. The exceptionally heavily peated malt boasts an impressive phenol content of 108.2 PPM, epitomising the uncompromisingly smoky character of the Octomore range. 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 complex and well-balanced. The combination of different bourbon casks was deliberately chosen to extract as much character as possible from the American oak whilst simultaneously highlighting the distillery’s intensely peated character. Fruity notes of mango, banana and apricot blend with vanilla cream, toffee and sweet, charred oak, whilst dry, earthy peat smoke and maritime hints define the typical Islay single malt character. The 0.7-litre bottle is aimed particularly at lovers of extremely peated whiskies and also serves as a starting point for comparison with the other editions in the Octomore 15 series.
