Octomore 5th Release Islay Single Malt Whisky 10 Year Old · 2010 Vintage
Out of stock
The 5th Release was distilled in 2010, aged for 10 years and bottled in 2021 at a cask strength of 56.3% ABV.
Known for pushing the boundaries of peat intensity, Octomore is defined by powerful Islay smoke balanced by Bruichladdich’s focus on distillation clarity. With a decade in American oak, this release is expected to combine bold peat and coastal character with greater maturity, structure and oak integration than younger editions.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich golden amber with sunlit copper highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Intense peat smoke rises in a coastal whirl—sea spray, iodine and ash mingle with brine. Beneath, vanilla and toffee from ten years in American oak lend gentle sweetness, while citrus zest adds lift. The aroma is bold yet refined, a maritime, clarifying smoke that promises mature Islay character and oak integration.
Palate
Powerful Islay peat and smoke envelop the palate, intensified by coastal brine and iodine. At 56.3% ABV the whisky carries bold vanilla and caramel sweetness, intertwined with peppery spice and charred oak. A decade in American oak lends structure and refinement, yielding a long maritime finish where smoke lingers, underscored by mineral and cocoa notes.
Finish
Long, coastal peat smoke lingers, wrapped in sea-salt and mineral brightness. The cask-strength warmth fans out vanilla and oak tannins, then settles into a refined, peppery finish with briny, ash-driven echoes that persist, gradually softening but never fading.
