Octomore 07.2 5 Year Old

From the famed Bruichladdich distillery on Islay, Octomore 07.2 is renowned as one of the world’s most powerfully peated single malts. Matured for five years and bottled at 58.5% ABV, this expression—originally a travel retail exclusive—boasts a remarkable 208ppm peat level, sourced from the heavily peated soils of James Brown’s farm near Port Charlotte. Despite its intense smokiness, Octomore 07.2 delivers a surprisingly balanced character, earning its description as “the iron fist in a velvet glove.” Expect a bold and complex flavour profile where robust peat smoke intertwines with subtle sweetness and lingering spice.
