Octomore 14.3 is a five-year-old Islay single malt from Bruichladdich, bottled at 61.4% in a 70cl bottle. It belongs to the Octomore 14 series, The Impossible Equation, and was distilled from 100% Islay barley grown on Octomore Farm, two miles away. Its peat level is 214.2 ppm.
Head distiller Adam Hannett matured it in first-fill ex-American whiskey casks and second-fill wine casks, chosen so that the wood works with the spirit without dominating it.
The nose is soft, biscuity malt with peat smoke, apricots, peaches and honeyed pears. On the palate, oak and smouldering peat meet gorse, honeysuckle, creamy porridge and vanilla. The finish is malted barley and earthy smoke.
