I was afraid this was only about the peat, but for a peat lover, it's a well balanced whisky

Strong peat aroma and strong spirit smell.

A strong peat and smoke taste was pleasant, however the coarse roughness of young spirit and some flavours, was not.

Long finish from the initial explosion. Enjoyable enough, but the coarseness dampened the experience.

An average heavily peated offering/expression. Priced on the expensive side, upon release, for the experience.

Color

Pale straw

Nose

Less feinty than Octo 01.1 seemed to me. Salt air and seashells. Hint of vanilla.

Taste

Vanilla , barley sugar, then heat and smoke. Very powerful but no sophistication.

Finish

Fiery but long. A real throat burner.

Comments

Maybe its a tired nose and palate but this seems better than 01.1. Still way too young to really be a serious drinker though.

It's better to have drunk it all than never to have drunk at all.

Insidiousness, smell is not really dangerous, but on the tongue, the taste buds are running away and they hide`em. The aftertaste is more as if you licking an ashtray, cold smoke with sweet and lemony flavours in the background. Definitely a new experience.

This one I bought when I was visiting Bruichladdic in 2009, it's a great whisky

Color

White wine

Nose

Peaty, farmy and sweet with hints of lemons and menthol. As with the first edition the smell of peat is moderate. Obviously it is bonded by the high alcohol content.

Taste

Explosion of a small peat bomb. I expected even more, but it feels warming and satisfying. Hints of lemons. Simple but tasty and I really like it.

Finish

Very long. All the path down from the mouth to the stomach feels warm and well. Peaty and after some time it becomes also lemony and spicy. Wonderful.

Comments

Very good again, but the first cask strength edition of Octomore was even more powerful and better.
