Octomore Cooper's Choice - Feis Ile 2018 Smoke Bomb Single Cask #9011 Whisky

Colour

Deep coppery amber with mahogany undertones.

Nose

Explosive peat smoke floods the nose, wrapped in maritime iodine and sea-salt brightness. Beneath, candied citrus zest, vanilla pod and a trace of dark chocolate emerge, all anchored by a mineral, ash-dusted backbone. A fearless, pristine Islay aroma from a coveted Feis Ile 2018 Single Cask.

Palate

Colossal peat smoke floods the palate, backed by saline sea spray and charred oak. Sherry cask influence releases dark fruit—raisin, fig, cocoa—alongside toffee and orange zest. Brisk brine and ash keep it razor-sharp, finishing long with peppery spice and a warm, maritime glow.

Finish

Long, smoke-forward finish that clings with coastal peat, tar and ash, like embers on a brisk Islay wind. A shimmer of sherry sweetness surfaces—dark fruit and cocoa—then fades to a warm, peppery glow, leaving mineral notes and a coastal saltiness that lingers.
