Octomore 15.2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML
Whiskey: Octomore 15.2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML
This is the exact same as 15.1 from the same series and the idea was to create a point of comparison. Both single malt Scotch whiskies were distilled from the same batch of Scottish-grown barley and malted to 108.2 PPM, but the maturation process for 15.2 is very different.

Both single malt Scotch whiskies were distilled from the same batch of Scottish-grown barley and malted to 108.2 PPM, but the maturation process for 15.2 is very different. It was aged in a combo of second-fill wine and second-fill bourbon casks before the spirit was finished in first-fill Cognac casks. It was bottled at 57.9% ABV.
Octomore 15.2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Sweet citrus, lime zest, lemon meringue pie and gently toasted oak.
Palate: Viscous and smooth with vanilla custard, caramel, toffee and a crack of black pepper.
Finish: An unmistakable maritime quality while waves of earthy peat smoke linger.
Distillery Information
Bruichladdich was built by Barnett Harvey in 1881. Five years later, the Bruichladdich Distillery Company was founded and renovation and refurbishment commenced. The ‘Laddie’, as it is affectionately known, is often considered to be the fruitiest, most inventive Islay malt and, indeed, there has been some contention as to whether it has truly attained Islay-status. Bruichladdich countered this with the introduction of the Port Charlotte range and later with the 2008-released Octomore, the world’s most heavily peated whisky with a phenol content of 131ppm. Then the distillery went almost the complete opposite direction and created The Botanist Gin! The gentle character of the spirit is attributed by some to the milder weather conditions at Bruichladdich's locality, sheltered, as it is, from Mother Nature by the Rhinns, the rugged Islay mountain range. Following the death of the then owner, Barnett’s son William Harvey IV in 1936, the distillery was run by Kenneth Harvey and sold a year later to Joseph Hobbs for the sum of £23,000. Silent for the latter part of the Second World War, Bruichladdich closed its in-house maltings in 1961, bringing malt in from the Islay maltings at Port Ellen. Enjoying good fortunes, further stills were added in 1975 to grapple increasing demand.
