Octomore 17.2 - 5 y.o. - Release 2026

Special features: Octomore 17.2 is a 5-year-old whisky produced at the Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay, Scotland. This whisky is characterized by its heavily smoky note, achieved through a malt of 81.0 ppm. The maturation takes place in second-fill casks made of French oak, which previously contained Californian red wine and bourbon. It is then refined in first-fill port wine barriques. The bottling occurs in a metal tin and is not chill-filtered, preserving the intensity of the aromas.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose reveals aromas of strawberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant, accompanied by lemon zest and a hint of lime oil.
• Palate: On the palate, pepper and citrus fruits open up, followed by berries and port wine spice. Earthy aromas round off the profile.
• Finish: The finish is long and structured, with lingering smoke, dark fruits, and spicy port wine. Citrus freshness and a dry, earthy note lead to a precise conclusion.
