    • Description

      Octomore 13.1 doesn’t whisper. It doesn’t ask for attention — it takes it. Distilled from 100% Scottish mainland barley and aged five years in first-fill American oak, this expression is the benchmark of controlled chaos: high-ppm peat, high ABV, and pure attitude. It’s the thunderclap before the storm settles.

       

      In the glass, it glows with pale gold intensity, but the nose is anything but quiet: sharp citrus, smoked vanilla, sea brine, and a burst of white pepper. Beneath the smoke — orchard fruit, lemon zest, warm oak, and sweet malt teasing through the fog.

       

      The palate lands with a bang. Peat — clean, sharp, and elemental — charges forward, wrapped in charred oak, grilled pineapple, and clove. Then comes sweetness: barley sugar, coconut cream, and honeyed almond. The mouthfeel is thick and electric — alive with fire and finesse.

       

      Mid-palate builds a wall of flavour: salted caramel, ash-dusted lime, campfire spice, and dried herbs. The intensity is immense, but the balance is extraordinary — a wild creature with immaculate training.

       

      The finish is long, smoky, and tingling with citrus and salt. Octomore 13.1 isn’t about subtlety. It’s about purity, power, and pushing the limits of what whisky can be.

    Bruichladdich Progressive Hebridean Distillers

    Bruichladdich is living proof that the traditional whisky regions of Scotland make no sense. Please don’t think that labelling a whisky “Islay” has anything to do with taste because the truth is far more complicated and interesting.

    Built in 1881 when puffer-supplied coal was available as an alternative fuel to local peat, it is likely that Bruichladdich was specifically designed to produce the purest unpeated spirit possible. The great Alfred Barnard supports this view with a tantalising clue – the Laddie is the only distillery on Islay that he does not describe as drying its malt using peat in his fascinating exploration of the island’s distilleries in 1885.

    Sadly, none of that 19th century spirit survives, but the original Victorian machinery has allowed an unparalleled legacy of craft distilling to trickle down through the generations of men who make this sophisticated Islay dram.

    We salute them, not with bland homogeneity, but with a glorious palette of expressions that celebrate the range of possibilities of this, the world’s greatest spirit.
