Octomore 12.1 Edition 750ml

Octomore 12.1 Edition 750ml is a bold and uncompromising Islay single malt Scotch whisky, renowned for its intense peat smoke and exceptional craftsmanship. Produced by the Bruichladdich Distillery, this heavily peated whisky is part of the highly sought-after Octomore series, known for pushing the boundaries of what a peated whisky can be. Distilled from 100% Scottish barley and peated to an astonishing level, the 12.1 edition showcases the raw power of peat while maintaining a surprising level of balance and complexity.

Despite its extreme peat levels, it retains a refined elegance, with a smooth texture and layers of flavor that evolve with each sip. Perfect for those who appreciate a smoky dram with depth and complexity, this limited-edition release is an essential addition to any whisky collection. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to unlock its full character, Octomore 12.1 stands as a testament to Bruichladdich’s mastery of high-peat, high-quality whisky making.
