Nose: Step into the Bruichladdich Distillery courtyard as the unmistakable aromas of hot, sweet mash envelop your senses. Soft, biscuity malt intertwines with peat smoke, accompanied by a medley of sweet, stoned fruits—ripe apricots, peach, and honey-drizzled pears. Subtle hints of citrus from candied lemon peels dance alongside notes of butterscotch, honeycomb, and the irresistible allure of chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

Palate: Delicate oak notes lead the way, paving the path for the presence of smoldering peat. Floral hints of gorse and honeysuckle rise above the rich, sweet Islay-grown barley, offering creamy porridge and cereal notes. The French oak structure, in harmony with the sweet vanilla and toffee of American oak, creates a symphony of flavors that gracefully balances the palate.

Finish: A grand finale unfolds as malted barley and earthy smoke take center stage, followed by lingering notes of sweet barley sugar. Caramel and vanilla delicately round off the experience, leaving a lasting impression of harmonious sweetness.

Embark on a sensory journey with Octomore 14.3, where every drop encapsulates the spirit of Islay’s terroir and the artistry of Bruichladdich Distillery’s craftsmanship.
