Summary
Octomore Edition 13.3 is a single malt whisky that stands out for its remarkable peat levels, measured at 129.3 PPM (parts per million). This whisky is crafted in Scotland, adhering to traditional methods while pushing the boundaries of peat intensity. Despite its young age of 5 years, it offers a complex and robust profile that appeals to both seasoned enthusiasts and adventurous newcomers alike.
The whisky is distilled from 100% Scottish barley, harvested from a single farm, which contributes to its unique terroir. The maturation process takes place in a combination of American oak and European oak casks, adding layers of depth and character. The result is a spirit that balances the raw power of peat with the subtle influences of its cask aging.
On the nose, you can expect a powerful wave of peat smoke, intertwined with hints of citrus and maritime notes. The palate is equally bold, delivering intense smoky flavors complemented by a touch of sweetness and a hint of spice. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of its peaty essence.
