I loved the wide range of sweet earthy notes and the seemingly endless complexity— I only included the high points, but I am sure I could have sat with this and come up with many more superlatives and mental images. It was not hard to see why this is celebrated as one of the best Octomore releases.
Mental Image: Outdoor Art Studio-
Meat, earth, and fruit. An initial impression of an art studio with paper maché and modeling clay, yet lunch beckoned with notes of herbs, beef fat, and chocolate powder. Water brought out more juicy fruits, mint, and sweet chlorinated pool water.
-
Medium-bodied with fruit, meat, and chemicals. Earthy charcoal and clay revealed sweet fruity Juicy Fruit gum, spearmint, swimming pool chemicals, and sweet citrusy sangria. Papermaché, canvas, and art studio projects remained in the background as meatier notes appeared at the end.
-
Lingering tropical fruit punch.

It’s a nice Octomore, but I shouldn’t have tasted it after the 02.2 Orpheus! One of the more harsh ones.. I really like the base of the flavour, the citrus fruit and so on, but the whole feeling is kind of off somehow.-
alcohol is more prominent than in the 02.2, also more sharp (yet the same ABV of 61%), sweet with sour notes, smoke is milder than I expected, vanilla, honey.. A bit of water opens it up towards more sweet citrus fruit
-
sweet vanilla, citrus, spice (ginger, pepper, chilli notes), smoke, ash, burnt wood
-
mid-long, peat smoke, dry notes, the spicy feeling stays for quite a while

Otomore - one of my favorite whiskys.
The smokiness is very balanced compared to the "information". Personally, I concentrate on the x.3 bottlings.
odor
Sweetness pours out of the jar (honey, cotton candy, vanilla)
And then comes the bacon smoke that I love so much (freshly made bacon).
The alcohol content pushes through but not at all disturbing.
Spiciness and a fruitiness (the Sauternes barrel) add to this.
He needs time in the glass.
With water it opens up more and more and shows its complexity of bacon, fruity sweetness.
taste
Immediately a warming tingling mouthfeel.
The sweetness kicks in, but is overlaid by the dominant smoked bacon. Pepperiness (ginger, chilli spice) is evident (certainly also due to the alcohol content).
And now it becomes oily / supple. Vanilla and honey mix with bacon and smoke.
Yummy Yummy Yummy!

One of my favorite Octomores! Slight lemony citrus, old vanilla. Sweet malty smoke, and lemon curd. Sooty smoke with light caramel. Nice smoky sweet dramgrinface scored this whisky 85 points
Overall, I like it quite well. A great balance, despite the high peat particle density. Overall, the nose is the highlight for me, whereas the finish drops off sharply. No wonder, with only five years in the barrel. I ask the question: Who is this whisky for and does the price match it? I think the fans of a lot of peat do not get their money's worth here, the sweet wine barrel balances it too much. If you like wine barrel storage, then you will definitely find better representatives. Then it is probably for collectors, flippers and fans of famous names.

Comment from Adam HannetThermidor scored this whisky 83 points
Dry yet sweet, if that makes any sense. At first I couldn't get much wine from it, but that may just have been because it was the last whisky in the lineup, and my nose must've already taken quite a beating by then. After a while the Sauternes becomes obvious, and it does not sit very well with me. Candied, with grilled pineapples and sugar, but also yeasty, which is not a welcome note in a young peater, regardless of whether it's from the distillate or from the cask.
The taste is dominated by the wine's sweetness, and water doesn't change that very much. It's acceptable, but there is a lack of balance going on IMO.
Tasted with the following Octomores: 01.1 (85 pts.) 02.1 (84), 02.2 (84), 03.1 (82), and 04.1 (88). While 04.1 was my favourite, Nearly half of the attending tasters voted 02.2 their top dram of the night.
Some interesting tidbits mentioned during the tasting: There are among other factors two pretty big ones for why Octomore's peat tastes the way it does. The first is that all the peat is from the mainland, as Octomore does not use Port Ellen maltings or Islay peat. The second is that Bruichladdich's stills are loaded only to around 60% capacity and driven very carefully, so there is a lot of copper contact going on, which explains why the whisky's stated PPM level does not translate directly to the level of peatiness you experience when nosing and tasting it.
In retrospect tasting 6 cask strength Octomores was the most difficult tasting I've ever been in. If regular peated Islay whisky can at times provide magnificent detail and contrast comparable to the Dutch master painters, having nothing but Octomore feels like trying to replicate a Rembrandt with a paint roller. The loudness of the phenols and the tight ABV clog the senses, so I could only finish the glass I deemed the best, and had to let my overworked nose and palate rest after that. An interesting experience in total, but I don't think I want to do it again.Tom na Gruagaich scored this whisky 85 points
Sweet peat bomb, but the finish quite dry. Not nearly as fast as expected. The sweet wine barrel softens quite a bit. Somehow reminds of the Connemara CS. But still has the typical non-maritime peat Bruichladdich.hs305 scored this whisky 86 points
[September, 2018] Heavy peat and sweet wine - this could work much better than heavy peat and virgin oak (WB id 77393) at least for my taste buds. We will see (thanks again, VVP)...
...and this is much more to my liking but still not my prefered profile of malt whisky. The sour-sweet wine flavours somehow contain the aggressive peatiness instead boosting their bitterness (like the virgin oak did). But still I do not ask for a second dram...-
The colour is pale straw and the nose offers a rather shy profile first, most probably due to the high abv of 61%. After some breathing just the peaty aromas pop up while the wine stays shy in the background. This changes after a fair reduction by water: The sweeter wine aromas show up and I can nose even some distant citric fruits now. Water is essential on this dram, for sure!
-
The taste shows a lot of peaty flavours (of course) but impressive sweeter wine flavours too that counter the bitter-astringent peat attack greatly. Still there is not much of the malt itself, after some chewing the barley sugars pop up and most probably there is nothing else in such an underaged dram (five years) at all. The reduced dram is more approachable and easier to drink - I like it best at around 46% abv.
-
The initial mouthfeel is hot (61% abv) with a nice coating effect but a drying-astringent feeling too (cold ashes). It is much better than the combo with virgin oak where the tannins rather multiply the astringent moments of the peat. The finish is long and sweeter than the taste both on the sour-sweet wine flavours and barley sugars with an acceptable dryness of the extreme peats (cold ashes again). Some water helps to smooth the finish (do lovers of such extreme drinks like a smooth finish, I doubt)...

After 6 weeks of oxidization this Octomore 4.2 has gone from a "A very nice dram" to an excellent dram.
Nose; Slight lemony citrus, old vanilla, sweet smokePalate; Sweet malty smoke, lemon curd with light caramel.
Finish; Sooty smoke with light caramel and citrus.
Not overly complex but a nice smoky sweet dram that only "New" Ardbeg can dream of.

Everything in here what you are waiting for associating an Octomore. Nice citrus smoke and ashes, a lot of citrus fruits. Tar and tobacco. The Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes is hiding very well, at the finihsline you might get a glimpse.Concerning price/performance ratio: 7/10-
Sweet gentle citrus smoke, overripe oranges and yellow fruits, honey, vanilla, citrus butter cake.

My first Octomore -> Disappointment ... can be too much waiting on my part-
A nose much less peaty / smoked than I imagined / hoped for. Algae, iodine can be metal ...?
-
Poorly integrated alcohol, the mouth is full of spices and peat. Like the nose, a certain "complexity" in his youth that is widely felt ...
-
A medium finish on the smoke / peat ... and again ... nothing crazy.

Slightly smoked and peaty despite the 167ppm. The aromas are vague: a little fat, a little iodine, a little fruit, a little peat ... The whole is young and slightly dissociated in the mouth between the fruity and peat on a rather indefinite background, between the pastry store and the grain farmer. Too little expressive. Average final. Not really flagrant defect, but not particularly striking quality either. Marketing has made it a great product; the tasting puts him back in his place as a rude novice.Gloin scored this whisky 91 points
Amazingly mild for 61% and certainly not the smoke monster you might expect. The existing smoke goes well with the sweet impressions of the Sauternes. At just five years of age, the whisky is exceptionally mature. The barrel of the final maturation has done an excellent job.-
Amazingly little smoke for 167 ppm. Very cute. Of course, the smoke is still very present, but I expected more from my first Octomore. Cold ashes, the Sauternes can be seen nicely. White grapes, vanilla, white wine cream. But behind it the smoke, hints of burnt rubber. Rather medically as a "campfire". Traces of almonds. What at first glance can not harmonize, delicate sweet dessert notes and medical smoke combines here to a harmonious aromatic blend. Something fresh is also added: mint; There is no sign of alcohol.
-
The onset is silky soft, but then come through the 61% and ensure a slight burning on the tongue. Again impressions of a dessert cream, very sweet. The smoke is also more in the mouth.
-
In the finish, the smoke finally shows clearly and combines with a still strong sweetness. The white grapes from the nose show up again and at the end the impression of smoked milk chocolate with vanilla cream filling reveals itself after a medium to long finish. A slight bitterness sticks to the palate.

Serge says;
Octomore 5 yo 'Comus 04.2' (61%, OB, 18000 bottles, 2012) 167ppm, will that be enough? I think this one's been matured in some Sauternes casks. Will the apricot resist the peat? Colour: pale gold. Nose: I find it Laphroaiggy, which can’t be bad news. I do not know where these medicinal notes do come from – or was that the Sauternes’ botrytis? Other than that, it’s not exactly a smoke bomb, I even find it a little mellow and soft. Oh and the apricots are there. With water: new tyres replace the antiseptic. Wet paint, creosote, carbolinium… These sorts of things. Bye-bye Sauternes! Mouth (neat): huge, high-impact, citrusy smoke. What’s quite impressive is the freshness, and even if the wine’s flavours can feel a little odd at times, the whole works. A Turkish delights shop after a fire. With water: lapsang souchong favoured with orange blossom – so, so kind of earl grey. The peat is not overpowering. Finish: long, quite creamy, and rather fruity, as if the Sauternes hadn’t had its last word. Tinned peaches. Comments: I prefer the cleaner, more natural ones (such as last year’s Islay Barley), but this worked.

Nose: Major ABV % here. Strong stuff. With an initial layer of sweet fruit then comes peat in hefty amounts. Spicy cinnamon gum. Vanilla and sweet fruity melange of grape and apricot. Sauternes colossus. Smoke. Tar. Eating an apricot jam scone after a peat smoke fire.
Mouth: Oily mouth feel. Lots of grape influence , wine. Fruity sweet with honey liquor. Whiffs of peat smoke in the middle in hefty quantity. Medicinal and yet so sweet. Fruit Compote set alight. Leather. Spicy-Sweet.
Finish: Smoke. Very long. Peat. Grapes. so long it took minutes literally to withdraw from my palate.
Excellent stuff. I was a bit worried if the desert wine finish would hold against the powerful Octomore phenols, but it just works out so well together. Good work Jim ! A real good buy, it may not be cheap for a 5 year old peated monster, but it’s worth it, IMHO.

sample from a friend-
Clearly a backdrop of bog-peat. It's sweet and elegant. It doesn't hit
quite like some of the harsh and massive peat monsters out there (called
monsters for a reason). Some salt, and it turns as well. Fruit is in
there, soft grapes, sweet Sauternes (surprise!) neither cloying nor
spicy. Lemon zest, musty apricot, and a few small white/light orange
stone fruits. Wisps of vanilla and waxiness. (with water) takes it all
down a bit and rather more elgant and crystalline, but not crystallized
you see. -
Whoa nelly! This is big, rich, and sticky oil. Yet, the alcohol isn't
sharp, and it's not too much neat. Honey, big Sauternes, there's the
botrytis spice, and then quite a bit of ash and tar. Less coastal and
more direct. Maybe a drop or two of water will open it up. (with water)
Much the same across the board, but now the peaty characteristics (tar
and bog) take up the lead a little more, with flashes of the wine and
fruit flitting in and out. -
Big and rich. It doesn't pull any punches. It's a peculiar mix, and it
times it's rather disjointed between the different elements, but I do
like the peat and I do like the Sauternes influence. It's really a lot
of fun, and that's why we're here.

The Comus truly is a further stage to the 02.1. A few more years and that could become the stuff dreams are made of.
As I wrote in my note for the 02.1:
Don´t water it down too much!! This malt lives and dies with its alcohol strength. If you don´t wanna enjoy it neat, then only add a few drops of water. Otherwise you will rob yourself of a truly sledgehammer experience.-
I´m tasting it parallel to the Octomore 02.1.
In comparison to the the 02.1 this one is not as aggressive in the nose. The Sauternes casks clearly take some of the aggressiveness away, as well as some peat. Although the Comus got more ppm as the 02.1, it appears to be less peated. Instead there is the typical Sauternes sweetness and fruitiness right from the beginning. Quite surprising. The peat is not as medicinal as the 02.1. Also it smells a little moldy (which is not ment negatively), as I know it from Longrow for instance. -
Sweet and mouthcoating. Takes a while for the alcohol to kick in. The fruitiness is a nice counterpart for the peat. There is also some oak, dark chcolate and licorice.
-
Powerful, long finish. Little bitter (because of the youth), but not as much as the 02.1. It stays sweet, becoming a little dry at the very end.
I could give it a hundred points just for the finish. LOVE IT!

Impressive for 5 years. Good product but its price is insane. I prefer to take 2 Uigeadail and a Revival 15 years =) I really like this dessert, but small dose!-
Octomore advertised very peaty (and expensive). I rinsed my mouth at Port Charlotte to prepare for those 61 degrees. The attack of peat? I thought I'd sink in the swamps. We are more on old rum (it looks like Malecon 18 years old) with a little smoke. Need aeration. Not sensational.
-
Superb. The 61 degrees explode in the mouth. It is very fat, very buttery. A little biscuit Lu. A sherry print, cocoa butter. Salted butter caramel. Citrus zest. Ultra greedy, it's a liqueur! I think that beyond 2cl per person, it is cons completely sickening.

A pleasant and persistent smoke. Still these creamy notes and candied citrus.

In the nose it is moderate, rich, sweet and soft. The viscosity of the
Sauternes brings nice balance in the
powerful tones of peat.
Then tones of leather,
tobacco, salty waves of the sea and aromas of fruit upward.

Wine finishes are often hit and miss, but this one is bulls eye! Between
120 and 150 EUR. Very good, but also very expensive.-
Compared to the Ochdamh-mor, this one is a sissy. A bit of smoke and a
bit of peat (while the level of ppm is again 167), but mostly fresh on apricots
and sultanas. Quite some freshly mowed grass and even some warm apple pie.
Smoldering hearth.
-
It is oily and mouth coating on the palate, but not a kick in the teeth.
Very sweet from the Sauternes. Sultanas, apricots, citrus zest and even some
peaches from a can. The typical Octomore traits surface midpalate with a hefty
helping of peat and some oyster juice. Adding water makes is more accessible
(doh!), if not better. -
The finish is long, smoky and sweet.

Producer`s NotesColour
Golden honey/ripe barley.
Body
Medium weight and well defined for a young
islander. The texture is rich, sweet and mellow and the viscosity of the
sauterne brings balance to the power of the peat. This is a most
sophisticated octomore and it`s kind of unbelievable to see "the beast"
tamed a little!
Nose
The opening is a beautiful combination of
peat smoke, bracken, leather, tobacco pouches, bog-myrtle & briny
waves. Then little twists of home-made mint toffee enter the system as
do the nutty notes from the oaks - both french and american. And so the
dance goes on but where is the french beauty? She waits patiently on the
fringes then at exactly the right moment she makes her entrance from
the epicentre of the spirit bringing aromatics and flavour the young
Ileach could only dream about. It`s a brilliant engagement to
experience. From deep in her soul she commits to this amazing
relationship, the aromatics relay the message to the waiting taste buds
to expect a whole new experience. The Grand Cru Sauterne flavours of
pear syrup, plump bursting grapes, guava, passion fruits and cantaloupe
with a dusting of icing sugar; you have to wonder just how surreal this
is, a super heavy peated spirit being seduced by the delectable classic
french beauty - passion changes everything!
Palate
It`s absolutely outrageous, the coming
together of flavours so far removed from each other you would think it
would be a disaster but once again we stand in awe of imagination and
the courage to take the consumer on this incredible journey of
discovery. The kaleidoscope of aromatics transcends beautifully onto the
palate which is going crazy with excitement. The smoke is the perfect
foil for the Sauternes; this is Bruichladdich at its best, walking on the
wild side, bringing pleasure and excitement to those who have that
sense of adventure and passion that comes only from people who are
totally committed to tradition, yet fearless in their search for the
ultimate dram.
Finish
This love affair should never have
happened but it has and we are witness to its enchantment, passion and
joyfulness as the flavours linger long into the night, ending on a drift
of peat smoke and the marine magic that is truly Islay.checkpointuk scored this whisky 86 points

A nice marriage of seemingly contradictory elements. The best Octomore I've tried so far.-
Tarry and smoky, although the peat blast may not be as heavy as expected (we say this every time we try an Octomore, don't we?). This is because there's an equally important biscuity sweetness. Quite some thick fruity notes as well (apricots, grapes). A heathery, grassy, herbal theme too. Added complexity and balance compared to previous expressions.
-
Oily and very grapey I must say. Pear syrup, tinned peaches. It's easy to recognize the Sauternes. Mixed with tar liqueur, burnt grass and medicinal notes, the combination works very well.
-
Long, on sweet lemon and peat.

Nose: The beginning is a wonderful symphony of peat smoke, ferns, leather, tobacco pouches, swamp myrtle and salty waves. This is followed by homemade mint toffee and the nutty notes of the oak - both French and American. Palate: In the highest scandalous, this union of such different flavors! They are so far apart that it seems their clash would end in chaos. But as so often we stand there, frozen in awe of the imagination and courage that has enabled us to embark on this incredible journey of discovery. The kaleidoscope of flavors beautifully transports to the palate, almost maddening with excitement. Sweet Sauternes, wrapped in a cloak of smoke - that's Bruichladdich at his best! A fall into the adventure, a kick for anyone who shares that sense of risk and passion reserved for those who are totally devoted to tradition - fearless in their search for the ultimate whisky. There is dancing, but where is the French beauty? She waits patiently on the edge, until she comes into the limelight at exactly the right time. From the epicenter of the whisky, it produces flavors of which the young Ileach had previously only dreamed and gives himself with body and soul to this amazing relationship. The aromas bring the taste buds the message of a completely new experience. The influence of the Grand Cru Sauternes reminiscent of pear syrup, plump, ripe grapes, guavas, passion fruit and melons, all covered by a fine layer of powdered sugar. A super-hungry islander is seduced by a lovely, classic French beauty - that's absolutely surreal, but true passion knows no bounds! Finish: This love affair should never have happened, but it does. And we are witnesses of their magic, their passion and joy. The aromas linger far into the night and are finally carried away by a hint of peat smoke and the magic of Islay.

In my opinion there's no need for Octomore to try and outdo the 167ppm. This is more than enough, let the aim now be the taste. So work on the nuances, not on records.-
Peat, smoke, clay, leather, little of tobacco. Light hints of citrusfruit, though far away.
-
First an explosion, a bomb of peat. After this (if you're still alive) the Sauternes does it's job, with tones of fruits (citrus, pear, apricot). Adding some water gives a better balance between the peat and fruit.
-
I would've expected it to last longer, actually I'm a bit surprised that the effects of the explosion worked out this fast.
