Producer’s Tasting Notes

  • Nose

    Profile - Smell

    Aromas of malt sugar and gentle peat smoke lead you into the dram. Layers of fresh green fruit come next followed by rose, geranium, apricot, and eucalyptus. Marzipan, ginger nut biscuits, and honeyed melon can also come through, with the malty fruity character coming to the fore with a little time. Adding a drop of water will bring out the peat smoke beautifully.

  • Palate

    Profile - Palate

    A soft and delicate on the palate, sweet honey and brown sugar give way to a whisper of peat smoke. The second sip brings lemon rind and seashells, a delicate marine hint along with malty biscuit notes and marzipan and coconut. The peat smoke has hints of boot polish and ash but is gentle enough to allow the subtle floral malty notes to shine.

  • Finish

    Profile - Finish

    The marine character develops and the smoke increases on the palate, honey and lemon with warm sand and marzipan. Final fruity traces of peach and stewed pears bring a little sweetness to the finish.

Product Description

A well-balanced, smoky Islay single malt, Octomore 13.3 was distilled in 2016 using 100% Islay barley, harvested in 2015 and peated to a whopping 129.3ppm, and matured in a combination of first-fill ex-American whiskey casks and second-fill European oak casks from Rivesaltes, France, and Ribero del Duero, Spain, for five years. The palate offers notes of vanilla, brown sugar, fresh limes and green apples, all wrapped up in gentle, dry peat smoke, sea salt and creosote notes that linger in the finish.

Great experience prompt delivery was...

Ordered a bottle of Bruichladdich Islay Barley. It arrived in good time and was very well protected. I reckon it would've remained intact had it dropped six feet. Thank you and cheers!
