Meat, leather, and meadow come together. Smoked brisket, grilled pork, burning hickory logs, and floral honeycomb. The nose is thick and syrupy with fragrant dry tobacco, kiawe/mesquite wood, and leather— from expensive shoes, to new boots, to car seats. Hints of allspice, white pepper, and sand dunes hang in the back.
-
Thick, oily, and robust. Hickory smoked salmon— licking the oil and salt off the board like a misbehaving housecat. Herb and spice follow the meaty salmon as resinous pine, rosemary, thyme, white pepper, and honey. Sweeter notes of cream cheese and red velvet cupcakes coalesce with tar and orange peel. Meat returns near the finish with sweet beef bulgogi, Korean barbecue pork belly, and fried mandoo.
-
Lingering smoke, dark chocolate, and herb-crusted fish.

Surprisingly round and complex for 3 years. At the current price around €150, a clear recommendation. There are some octomores that are significantly more expensive and not significantly better.-
The usual smoke, not particularly strong, the alcohol is fairly well integrated
-
Oh for the age just wow...
Fills the mouth, short burst of alcohol that wants to underline its youth, then comes sweetness in different nuances, the young oak remembers and stays. -
With his age, he doesn't manage to be remembered for as long as, for example, March 11th
The whole thing is a bit short, but balanced and harmonious.

A great whisky. A bacon and cheese platter in liquid form. 88 points.-
Fatty and cheesy. Fresh orange slices. Amazingly flavorful for the three years!
-
Rich smoked ham, pepper and nutmeg. Dry aftertaste.

Very long and hearty.

The nose seems fairly rich, even heady. Surprising, for virgin casks. It feels like touching wood, feeling the splinters under the skin. Dried fruits, apricots, ash peat. overturned ashtray. Nice balance. Hazelnut, maple syrup, holly. You can really feel the intensity of the wood. But it's a bit alcoholic too. Spicy mouth, but also suave. Ginger, paprika, pepper. It's quite syrupy, like Banyuls. The finish is not very long, but it is good, earthy, oily, chestnut, pumpkin, butternut. Cranberries.

Only 3 years old but what a monster.
I wasn't a fan of the first hour but what a progression Octomore has made.FernetBranco scored this whisky 89 points
Strong (oh what?) Octomore with a buttery nose. On the palate, too, I would have "blindly" guessed that a wine barrel would be post-matured. Great thing for friends of the super-heavily-peated faction!thebonewolf scored this whisky 94 points
Amazing nose, incredibly savory and mouthwatering.-
Funky Octomore peat, intensely meaty/barbecue smoke. Much heavier on meat/barbecue spice than the smoke.
-
Woody, smoky, spicy. Reminds a lot of a kangaroo jerky.
-
Dry, peaty/earthy, as spices fade over a long finish.

It has a relatively oily viscosity and its bouquet is of relatively strong intensity. I have aromas of intense peat smoke, toffee, malty sweetness, vanilla, pipe tobacco, honey sweetness? Citrus fruit, ash and bacon. Moderately complex. A good balance between sweetness and dryness in terms of taste. He has clearly noticeable alcohol and a relatively heavy body.cybock scored this whisky 84 points

grinface scored this whisky 84 points
Impressive in itself. There will be few whiskys that can hold such an intense taste, let alone top it. After that you don't need to drink anything else, the influence of 10.4 will definitely be there. The question that concerns many people is: do you need that and should a 3-year old whisky cost 150 €. I answer the question like this: If you wat that profile, then the 150 € do not matter, because there is no cheaper whisky that offers it. Then it is the honesty, the “holding the three years in your face”, that I prefers to all the secrecy of some other distilleries. Still, this not my whisky. That is too violent for me, even if I definitely recognize the “art” behind it.

- already one of the better representatives of the Octomore series,
- for just 3 years of maturity a great aroma, very good barrels
- very well done masterpiece-
clearly smoky note (but very pleasantly integrated), peat, herbs, surprisingly complex
-
oW: massive, powerful, almost too sharp;
mW: significantly better, more pleasant, the herbal aromas come out more clearly (thyme, rosemary), aromatic smoke, not this massive, cold ash smoke -
medium smoky departure;
longer smoother reverberation
-
schengel10 scored this whisky 87 points
A certainly very successful, incredibly intense and also very good whisky.
Intense smoke, high percentages and aroma loads are a pound - moreover, it is not very complex (from where too).
And about 155.00 € despite the beautiful "tin can" are pretty outrageous - it is just 3 years old and may just call itself "whisky" !!!
[Color] amber-
Peat, smoke, burning bushes / shrubs, herbs, salt;
-
mW: intense, voluminous, herbs (thyme, rosemary), tobacco, pepper - again and again (dry) fumes;
-
medium length, peppery, salty, spicy; aftertaste peat and smoke;

Tasted in a row with the 9.3, 10.1, 10.3 and 10.4 at the online octomore tasting meets heavy metal with brand ambassador Ewald Stromer.-
Smoky sweetness. Apple rings in candied dark chocolate coat.
-
Smoky, salty, woody notes. With smoked ham. On the nose I actually have a light grass note of the freshly cut variety. In the background the farm, which you can find regularly at Bruichladdich.
-
Sparkling peppery salt notes with smoke and a sweetness with woody vanilla notes.

waal scored this whisky 86 points
Nose: Strong smoke tries to hide the undeniable youth, sweet, intense dark honey, chocolate, strong spicy wood, lemon, sea salt, ashtray, methylated spirit, sour apples, good for three years but not very complex
Mouth: strongly phenolic, ash, strong, a lot of vanilla, astringent, lemon and a lot of cinnamon, sweet and juicy, present, in the finish violent spices (pepper, chilli, cinnamon), oily, the wood is omnipresent, intense, heavily burned-out barrel with perfect smoky base product
Conclusion: a very intense experience. For me personally, the burnt-out barrel in combination with the relatively strong smoke is too much of a good thing. The New Make was certainly perfect, but somehow it has to be possible to sell three-year malt for around EUR 150. Then we throw in a lot of peat and afterwards the burned out barrel has to contribute to it so that we can bring the most intense stuff to the people in the shortest possible time. Shoot cannons at sparrows ...

Whiffs of resin and rubber are the first aromas to stand out, followed by a deep and rich note of bonfire, unlike I've ever experienced in a whisky before. Wood varnish and tobacco leave their impression too, and this has a subtle farmy quality to it as well. Interesting, to say the least. Markedly different than the other three Octomore 10s, let alone other whiskies out there.
-
Spicy arrival with notes of pepper, cloves and nutmeg. Fairly dry as well. More peaty than smoky, the inverted experience of the nose, although that bonfire note does peak through on the palate every once in a while. A touch of shoe polish as well.
-
Long, dry and spicy, but also with tobacco and peat.

It's definitely not my taste.
Short in the finish..Kantenmechaniker scored this whisky 85 points
Kept in the Octomore Masterclass during the Feis Ile 2019.-
worn sneaker, smoke yes, but not too strong, warmed up, the cinnamon, which I expected, quite spicy, for three years not too spirited
-
Wow, the mouth is busy, dry, Big Red bubble gum !!!, violently, yes you notice the youth, wow, that's not easy, yes, smoke and a lot, but the rest is so overwhelming
-
Heckraus surprisingly short in comparison to other Octomore, also the cinnamon subsides, but is still the longest since
