Octomore 13.1 is as youthful and dynamic as its super-heavily peated predecessors. Distilled patiently from the 2015 harvest of 100% Scottish Mainland barley, this single malt is malted to a stratospheric 137.3 PPM and matured in the highest quality American oak casks.
Synonyms with the classic Octomore .1 style. Hidden peat smoke allows the floral, malty spirit and the sweet American oak to combine in perfect harmony, before dry, earthy smoke sweeps across the palate.
The Bruichladdich Octomore 13.1 Edition offers a golden Hebridean sands colour and a viscous texture on the palate. The flavour profile is characterised by densely smoked grain, reminiscent of smoked granola and honeyed fruit. A deeper exploration reveals notes of smoked apricot jam, barley flour, peat embers, and burnt heather, balanced with a hint of gooseberry citrus and sweet Turkish delight. As the finish approaches, the flavours of oak chips, sugared almonds, and chocolate-limes are complemented by a touch of spicy aniseed. Adding a drop of water heightens the smokiness and brings out the whisky's minerality. Finally, the sweetness fades and gives way to a lingering, earthy, and mossy note wrapped in dry heathery peat smoke. As a final touch, subtle salty-citrus and floral notes of geranium and rose round out this expertly crafted expression of the Octomore

Distillery Info
All Octomore .1 editions are distilled from 100% Scottish barley. They are primarily aged only in ex-American oak, in varying percentages of either ex-bourbon or ex-Tennessee whiskey casks.
Acting as the backbone of each new series, Octomore's .1 releases demonstrate the raw character of the clean Octomore spirit, balanced with the modest ex-American whiskey influence - and offer a necessary comparison from which the other expressions alternate.
After five aged years in first fill ex-American oak casks, our Head Distiller has offered a unique twist in this 13.1, having gathered and recasked the spirit in 2021 into yet more fresh, first fill ex-American oak casks.
This final injection of flavour, taken from the interaction between the spirit and the oak, offers additional flavours of dark toffee, coconut and vanilla.
This single malt is a testament to the trust our head distiller, Adam Hannett, has in the quality of his ingredients.
Without more than patience and an understanding of how the flavours will evolve, this single malt perfectly personifies the courage of Octomore as a concept.
