This one’s beast‑mode. Octomore 16.3 cranks peat levels way up (189.5 ppm), uses Islay barley, and finishes in wine & dessert casks. Big, bold, badass.

Description

Octomore 16.3 is the big brother in the 16 series: peated barley at 189.5 ppm, grown on Octomore Farm (Church Field, Islay), aged five years full‑term in bourbon, Sauternes, and Pedro Ximénez casks. Bottled at 61.6% ABV, un‑chill filtered, no colouring. It’s the whisky equivalent of cranking up the dial: you’ll get honeyed malt, toasted grain, earth and smoke in equal measure, plus orchard fruits & dessert‑cask sweetness, a pinch of salinity and finishing zest. It’s made for contemplative sips, fireside stories, or moments when you want whisky to show off.

Tasting notes

  • Nose: Heather bloom, distant bonfire, barley sugar, baked bread, lemon zest & green apple, with florals peeking through. Palate: Honeyed malt, toasted grain, earth & smoke dancing together, orchard fruit and vanilla sweetness, with salt‑air edges. Finish: Medium to long; sweet barley gives way to floral notes, gentle smoky bonfire, citrus, and lingering sea spray & minerality.
