Octomore is Bruichladdich's answer to the question of just how far peat can be pushed — and the 13.1 is no exception. Distilled on Islay and matured for five years exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks, this 2022 Limited Edition Release delivers the searing, high-PPM intensity the series is known for, balanced against the sweet vanilla and coconut character that only ex-bourbon wood can give.
Bottled at a robust 59.2% ABV with no colouring or chill-filtration, Octomore 13.1 is unapologetically bold — a dram built for those who want their whisky loud, smoky, and completely uncompromised.
Colour
Pale gold
Nose
Thick bonfire smoke, charred oak, vanilla pod and a wisp of citrus peel cutting through the peat
Palate
Intense smoke and tar up front, softened by bourbon-cask sweetness — toffee, coconut and stewed apple
Finish
Long, smoky and warming, with a lingering charcoal dryness

Founded 1881
Since Murray McDavid saved the distillery in 2000, with an asking price of £6.5 million, Bruichladdich has gone from strength to strength after a difficult initial period. Now under the ownership of Remy Cointreau, it is one of Islay’s most recognisable whiskies and brands.
