Bruichladdich Octomore 8.2, Travel retail

Nose: This one’s fruitier alright, with quite some red fruit, as the wine casks are at work. There’s some smoke on the nose, but it’s only playing 2nd violin to the fruity goodness.There’s some candied orange, as well as red fruit,spices , a hint of apple strudel and then some more sooty notes, rather rich. Palate: Fruit leather, BBQ’ed ripe fruit, quite a bit of wine-y notes out there as well as big notes of fruit salad, mostly on the Finish: More red fruit, sweet smoke and wine tannins. In short: This one’s lovely, and big on the wine notes, sweet fruit and the peat mixes quite well with everything. A good one to seek out if you’re traveling and in need of some Octomore.
