In the glass, Octomore 13.1 shows a golden Hebridean-sand hue. The aroma opens with sweet nutty smoke, barley sugar, ripe orchard fruit, syrupy apricot, pear and malty vanilla. On the palate, vanilla and brown sugar meet fresh lime, green apple, dry peat smoke, sea salt and a creosote-like maritime note. The finish lets the sweetness recede into lasting peat smoke, citrus, green fruit and a coastal edge.

Octomore 13.1 suits experienced peat whisky drinkers, collectors of Bruichladdich Octomore releases and gift buyers looking for a distinctive Islay single malt. Serve it neat in a tulip glass, allowing time in the glass; a few drops of water can help open the high-strength smoke, fruit and vanilla notes.
