Bruichladdich Distillery Islay Octomore 15.3 Edition 700 ml

Octomore 15.3 is Bruichladdich’s unapologetically bold exploration of Islay single malt — an experiment in smoke, barley, and purity taken to the extreme. Distilled from 100% Islay-grown barley and peated to staggering levels, the 15.3 edition showcases Octomore at its most elemental: intensely smoky, deeply expressive, and unmistakably tied to the island that raised it. Bottled at cask strength and left non-chill filtered, it delivers raw power balanced by surprising elegance.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Waves of peat smoke, warm barley fields, lemon oil, toasted oak, sea spray, and vanilla cream.

Palate: A collision of rich malt sweetness, smoldering peat, charred citrus, honeyed biscuits, and hints of stone fruit.

Finish: Long, smoky, and dynamic with lingering ash, sweet malt, oak spice, and a clean saline edge.

What Makes It Special

Distilled from single-origin Islay barley, grown just miles from the distillery.

Bottled at cask strength, delivering Octomore’s signature intensity without dilution.

Among the most heavily peated whiskies in the world, yet remarkably balanced.

Non-chill filtered and natural color, preserving full character and texture.

A pinnacle release in the experimental 15.x series, showcasing Bruichladdich’s mastery of smoke and terroir.
