Matured for five years in first-fill bourbon barrels, this .1 release serves as the benchmark expression of the Octomore 17 Series, balancing extreme peat smoke with the precision and coastal sweetness the brand is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBruichladdich Distillery on Islay has built its reputation on progressive, terroir-driven whisky making, and Octomore is its most extreme statement — the peatiest whisky in the world, made with meticulous attention to barley provenance and cask selection. The .1 expression in each series acts as the reference point, letting the peat, barley, and American oak maturation speak clearly without additional cask finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e billowing campfire smoke, vanilla custard, toasted barley, brine, faint citrus zest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e intense peat smoke, brown sugar sweetness, vanilla and oak, black pepper heat, coastal salinity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e long, with lingering smoke, warm cinnamon spice, and a dry oak char\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIslay Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59.7% (119.4 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBruichladdich Distillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIslay, Scotland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Scottish Mainland Concerto Barley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFirst-Fill Bourbon Barrels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePeat Level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e81.0 PPM (Super-Heavily Peated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeat lovers seeking the extreme:\u003c\/strong\u003e if you already love Laphroaig or Ardbeg, Octomore 17.1 turns the smoke dial even further for a bolder experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHome bar showpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e a rare, high-proof bottle that makes a serious addition to any whisky collection or home bar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGifting for the whisky enthusiast:\u003c\/strong\u003e a memorable, conversation-starting gift for the collector who's tried it all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat sipping and slow evenings:\u003c\/strong\u003e best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the vanilla and oak beneath the peat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Octomore 17.1 different from other Islay Scotch whiskies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOctomore 17.1 is malted to an extreme 81.0 PPM, making it one of the most heavily peated Scotch whiskies available, while still delivering the coastal sweetness and precision Bruichladdich is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Octomore 17.1 good for someone new to peated whisky?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottle is best suited for experienced peat drinkers rather than beginners, since its intensity and high proof are significantly stronger than more approachable peated Scotches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink Octomore 17.1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeat or with a splash of water is the best way to enjoy this whisky, allowing the smoke, brown sugar sweetness, and vanilla-oak notes to fully unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a good whisky for collectors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, as a limited, rare release from the Octomore 17 Series, this bottle holds strong appeal for collectors and makes a smart addition to a serious whisky collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruichladdich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53836934742310,"sku":"BRUICHLADDICH-OCTOMORE-E-J1PPXZ","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/7951\/6015\/files\/BruichladdichOctomoreEdition17.1SingleMaltScotchWhisky.webp?v=1788911829","url":"https:\/\/pbexpressliquor.com\/products\/bruichladdich-octomore-17-1-islay-single-malt-scotch","provider":"PB Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
