Octomore 16.2 Super Heavily Peated 5 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Octomore 16.2 is the newest chapter in the super heavily peated single malt series from Bruichladdich, distilled on the isle of Islay, Scotland and released as a limited annual edition. True to the Octomore project, it pairs an audaciously high peating level with a short five-year maturation, capturing the spirit at its most vivid and expressive.

The liquid leads with dense, earthy peat smoke and coastal salinity, then opens into barley sugar, citrus, and vanilla as it sits in the glass. The smoke never fully lets go, but it frames rather than buries the malt — a layered, slow-unfolding dram that rewards patient sipping.

Each Octomore edition sells through quickly and rarely returns, making 16.2 a natural centerpiece for an Islay collection or a serious gift for the peat devotee. Explore it alongside the other single malt Scotch and rare bottles in the Liquor Geeks collection. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.
