An 8 year old Octomore single malt, originally released for the Travel Retail market. This series of Octomore releases from Islay's Bruichladdich explored the idea of "softer smoke", rather than the all-out peat bombshells the preceded them. They're still peaty, mind - Octomore 10.2 clocks in at 96.9 PPM! It spent its first four years maturing in ex-American whiskey casks before being moved over to Sauternes casks for the final four years.

A nose of charred lemons on a BBQ, fragrant malt and maple syrup on pancakes.
Honeyed cereal on the palate, juicy peach and pear. A kick of earthy peat gives it some salinity along the way.
The citrus zest returns for the finish, plus dried mango, meaty barley and red pepper flakes.
