Octomore 15.1, known as The Control, is a super heavily peated single malt from Bruichladdich, the first expression in the 15th annual Octomore series. It is peated to 108.2 PPM and made from 100% Scottish Mainland Concerto barley, distilled in 2018 from the 2017 harvest. The spirit was matured for five years in first-fill bourbon barrels and re-charred ex-bourbon casks, and is bottled at 59.1% ABV. The nose brings caramel, citrus, earthy peat smoke, aniseed and custard. On the palate, mango, banana and apricot jam sit with vanilla and toffee, and the finish carries peat smoke, vanilla and charred oak.

Palate
