{"product_id":"bruichladdich-octomore-15-3","title":"Bruichladdich Octomore 15.3","description":"\u003cp\u003eBruichladdich Octomore 15.3 is the heavyweight \"super-heavily peated\" release of the 2024\/2025 Octomore series. It represents a landmark moment for the distillery, clocking in at a staggering 307.2 PPM (phenol parts per million)—making it the second most heavily peated whisky ever released, surpassed only by the legendary Octomore 8.3 (309.1 PPM). Distilled from 100% Islay-grown Concerto barley harvested from Octomore Farm (located just two miles from the distillery), this 5-year-old single malt is a study in \"The Impossible Equation\": balancing extreme smoke with the delicate, honeyed sweetness of local barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpirit Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite its astronomical peat levels, the liquid is noted for its \"patient distillation,\" which preserves the characteristic fruitiness of the Bruichladdich spirit. It is bottled at a powerful cask strength of 61.3% ABV, yet maintains a remarkably soft and unctuous texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoked cinder toffee, rich malted barley sugar, and honey lead the way. These are balanced by fresh citrus, crushed seashells, toasted nuts, and a hint of coconut that adds depth to the heady peat smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptionally rounded and viscous. It features a creamy \"vanilla custard\" and butterscotch profile, punctuated by dried fruits, sweet orange zest, and toasted oak.
