Octomore 5 years old Edition 15.3 The Impossible Equation - b. 2024 - 700ml

Octomore 15.3 combines high peat levels with harvests from a single Islay farm—Octomore Farm—located just three kilometers from the distillery. With a phenol content of 307.2 PPM, Octomore 15.3 is complex, robust, and full of character. It is matured entirely in first-fill bourbon casks and first-fill Oloroso hogsheads sourced from Fernando de Castilla in Jerez, Spain. The striking peat smoke is balanced by ripe fruit notes derived from a slow distillation process, showcasing both an unparalleled flavor profile and a distinct provenance. Influenced by the salty sea spray, the Islay-grown barley imparts not only a malty sweetness but also a genuine sense of origin. Octomore 15.3 is one of three whiskies that make up the fifteenth Octomore series, unveiled in October 2024—a peated single malt produced at the Bruichladdich Distillery on the island of Islay. Octomore 15.3 is a 5-year-old whisky crafted from Scottish-grown Concerto barley—sourced from the Octomore farm on Islay—and malted to a phenol level of 307.2 ppm. It was matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks (69%) and first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads from the Bodega Fernando de Castilla in Jerez (31%). Nose: Crisp toffee, malted barley sugar, honey, and fresh citrus fruits. Palate: Full-bodied, reminiscent of lingering toffee, with notes of creamy vanilla and a gentle hint of toasted oak, underscored by waves of smoke. Finish: Burnt sugar, coconut, a delicate coastal mist, and a touch of earthy peat smoke.
