Octomore 11.3 Islay Barley 700ml

Octomore 11.3 Islay Barley Single Malt

A testament to single-farm terroir and extreme peating, Octomore 11.3 is an un-chillfiltered, cask-strength powerhouse distilled from 100% Islay barley harvested exclusively from Octomore Farm.

The Rarity Factor

• Ultra-Limited Vintage: Released in 2020 as part of the acclaimed Octomore 11 series, Edition 11.3 is now long discontinued and sold out at primary retail worldwide.

• Collector’s Gem: Sourced from a single field harvest (Concerto barley grown in 2013) and aged for 5 years in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, making secondary-market bottles exceptionally scarce and highly sought after by Islay purists.

Key Specifications

• Peat Level: 194 PPM (Super-Heavily Peated)

• ABV: 61.7% (Natural Cask Strength)

• Barley Source: 100% Octomore Farm, Islay, Scotland

• Maturation: First-fill ex-American Oak Casks (Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, Buffalo Trace)

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Earthy bonfire smoke and peat ash balanced by delicate floral heather, lemon curd, sweet vanilla, and crushed coastal sea spray.

• Palate: Viscous and rich; intense peat and sweet malt upfront, yielding to candied citrus, apricot, toasted oak, and warm vanilla cream.

• Finish: Exceptionally long and warm, with lingering chimney smoke, salted caramel, and a drying oak spice.
