Octomore 15.1 Scottish Barley is a high-strength distillery-bottled heavily peated Islay single malt at 59.1% ABV in a standard 700ml bottle, crafted from mainland Scottish barley with extreme peat smoke levels as the first release of the 15th Octomore series. Its aroma erupts with intense medicinal peat smoke, thick coastal sea tar, burnt heather, ripe dark orchard fruit, vanilla custard and dark chocolate to balance the ferocious smoky intensity. The palate delivers blistering peaty brine upfront, plush jammy black fruit, viscous thick malt, robust layered oak tannins and soft liquorice that soften the powerful phenolic core. It features an enduring smoky finish of lingering smouldering ash, preserved dark berry fruit and deep warm vanilla oak sweetness. This bold cask-strength peated limited release works neat or lightly watered to unlock hidden fruit layers, prized by peat fanatics for its uncompromising heavy smoke paired with rich rounded fruit complexity from mainland Scottish barley.
