Bruichladdich Octomore 7.1 Heavily Peated Islay

Bruichladdich Octomore 7.1 Heavily Peated Islay 700ml Tasting notes: "Distilled in 2009, so remember this is only 5 years old. At this stage there’s not a lot of cask, but there is an insanely intense smoky, herbal note like eucalyptus, celery, spruce, pine resin, then some angelica and a crisp mineral edge. The palate is balanced between this intensity, big smoke, and Bruichladdich’s typical oily, sweet core. Water doesn’t affect it one little bit. It is bold, it is proud, it is in charge. I like its sheer ballsiness." -Whisky Advocate
