The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Octomore is Bruichladdich's flagship heavily peated series, and this bottling is the backbone of the fourteenth annual release, offering a benchmark expression against which the other batch-14 variants can be compared. Made from Scottish barley and matured on Islay, Octomore is renowned as one of the most heavily peated whiskies in the world.
Despite the intense peating levels, Bruichladdich's meticulous distillation keeps the spirit remarkably balanced: expect a nose of thick smoke intertwined with vanilla and citrus, a palate that layers sweet malt, tropical fruit, and building smoke, and a long, warming, intensely smoky finish. This is a whisky for serious peat enthusiasts — best enjoyed neat to appreciate its full intensity, and a natural match for barbecued or smoked food.
Octomore has become a cult favorite for peat lovers looking to push their palate to the limit. Order this heavily peated Islay single malt whiskey online at Habits Bottle Shop and experience one of Scotch's most extreme expressions.

Ways To Pour It
Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
