Powerful. Peaty. Remarkably Refined.

Octomore 15.1 is the core expression of Bruichladdich’s 15th edition series, crafted from 100% Scottish barley and peated to an intense 108.2 PPM. Aged for five years in first-fill and re-charred ex-bourbon casks, it delivers bold smoke balanced by oak sweetness and vibrant fruit. Bottled at cask strength (59.1% ABV), it’s a fearless Islay single malt with surprising elegance.
