Octomore 02.2 Orpheus 5 Year Old

Octomore 02.2, nicknamed Orpheus, is a powerfully peated single malt from the revived Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay, boasting a remarkable phenol content of 140ppm. Matured for five years, this exceptional whisky gains unique character from finishing in French oak casks sourced directly from the prestigious Chateau Petrus. The result is a haunting spirit with a towering complexity, offering a bold and intensely smoky experience balanced by subtle fruit notes imparted by the Bordeaux oak. A testament to Bruichladdich’s experimental spirit, Orpheus represents the pinnacle of heavily peated Islay whisky.
