Description

Octomore 14.2 Whisky

Octomore 14.2 Whisky is a bold and heavily peated single malt from Bruichladdich’s groundbreaking Octomore series. Known for pushing the boundaries of peated whisky, Octomore 14.2 continues the tradition by delivering intense smoke and complexity. Distilled from Scottish barley peated to extreme levels, this expression is aged in a combination of ex-American oak and French oak wine casks, resulting in a rich and multifaceted whisky that balances powerful peat with layers of fruit, spice, and oak influence.

Production details: Octomore 14.2 is crafted from 100% Scottish barley, malted to an extraordinary level of peatiness. After distillation, the whisky is aged in both ex-American oak barrels and French oak wine casks, which impart additional richness and complexity. This dual cask maturation adds layers of ripe fruit and spiced oak to the whisky’s signature smoky profile, creating a bold yet balanced expression. Bottled at cask strength, this whisky retains its raw, unadulterated character.

Serving suggestions: Enjoy neat to fully experience its intensity, or with a few drops of water to soften the powerful peat and unlock the underlying flavors of fruit, spice, and oak. Pair with rich, savory dishes such as smoked meats or blue cheese to complement its bold profile, or savor it on its own as a statement whisky.

Additional information: Octomore 14.2 is part of a limited release from Bruichladdich, known for crafting some of the most intensely peated whiskies in the world. Its combination of extreme peat and French oak wine cask maturation makes it a standout whisky for enthusiasts who seek bold flavors and innovative cask influences. This edition is a must-try for those who appreciate the marriage of smoke and complexity in a refined Islay malt.
