{"product_id":"octomore-17-3-5-year-old","title":"Octomore 17.3 5 Year Old","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eProduced at Bruichladdich Distillery on the Isle of Islay, Octomore is the world's most heavily peated single malt whisky, with each edition rooting its character in barley provenance, peat level and cask influence. Edition 17.3 is the estate expression of the 17 Series, distilled from 100% Islay Concerto barley grown at Irene's Field on the Octomore Farm, grounding the spirit firmly in place and provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMalted to an extraordinary 132.1 PPM and aged for 5 years in a cuvée of first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill Ribera del Duero, Sauternes, Eiswein and Syrah casks, Edition 17.3 balances muscular peat with elegance and nuance. With time, the spirit, cask and grain knit tightly together into a powerful yet composed dram that is weather-beaten, coastal and deeply satisfying. Bottled at 60.9% ABV at natural cask strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes by Bruichladdich:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eImmediate coastal peat smoke — salty, tarry and medicinal — evocative of sea spray, coal smoke and weathered rope. As the phenols settle, the barley speaks clearly: warm malted grain, brown sugar and fresh barley flour. Lemon peel and crisp orchard fruit bring lift; green apple, pear and pear drops, alongside soft vanilla and marzipan sweetness. Herbal notes of marram grass and wildflowers add freshness, grounding the dram firmly in its Islay home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eFull and commanding in texture — viscous, weighty and peppery. Sweet first-fill oak shows as salted caramel, smoked apple and toasted coconut, quickly joined by praline and vanilla cream. Then the peat rises: earthy and deeply charred, wrapping the palate in dry, ashy smoke. Citrus oils and mineral salinity rise sharply through the smoke, creating tension and precision. With time, the spirit, cask and grain knit tightly together — smoked malt, sweet barley and peat woven as one.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eLong, dry and resonant. Malty sweetness, soft florals and vanilla fade gradually into earthy smoke and maritime salt. The peat lingers for an age — savoury, warming and unmistakably Octomore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Octomore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56178597462401,"sku":"O1735YO","price":198.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0413\/8634\/4603\/files\/11845683_square_1105f17d-3013-4d94-bbde-b6506295273f.jpg?v=1788285296","url":"https:\/\/jpha.co.uk\/products\/octomore-17-3-5-year-old","provider":"JPHA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
