Octomore 10 Ochdamh-Mòr – When Peat Meets Elegance
Octomore has built a reputation for pushing boundaries, and Octomore 10 Ochdamh-Mòr is a perfect expression of that philosophy. Produced by Bruichladdich Distillery, this Islay single malt is famous for its extreme peat levels—yet it consistently surprises with balance and clarity.
On the nose, Ochdamh-Mòr delivers an immediate wave of intense smoke, charred oak, and earthy peat, followed by subtle notes of citrus, vanilla, and coastal salinity. The palate is powerful and structured: thick peat smoke, dark chocolate, spice, and gentle sweetness unfold layer by layer. Despite its intensity, the whisky remains remarkably precise and well-integrated.
The finish is long, smoky, and warming, with lingering ash, oak, and a touch of maritime freshness. This is not a whisky that shouts without purpose—every element is carefully crafted to showcase how far peat can be taken without losing elegance.
Octomore 10 Ochdamh-Mòr is made for experienced whisky drinkers, peat enthusiasts, and collectors seeking something bold and uncompromising. It stands as a testament to modern Islay whisky-making: fearless, complex, and unforgettable.
