Bruichladdich Octomore 09.1 Dialogos – Limited Edition Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt
The Backbone of the Octomore Series
Bruichladdich Octomore 09.1 Dialogos is a bold and uncompromising Islay single malt whisky. Crafted at the iconic Bruichladdich Distillery on the Isle of Islay, this limited edition release showcases the raw power of the Octomore spirit. It uses 100% Scottish barley malted to an extraordinary PPM level, making it one of the world’s most heavily peated whiskies.
However, this whisky is more than smoke. It delivers a velvet glove around an iron fist. The intense peat is balanced by precision distillation in Bruichladdich’s tall, narrow-necked stills. As a result, the spirit retains remarkable purity and elegance.
The .1 edition forms the backbone of every Octomore series. It reveals the clean, essential character of the spirit. At the same time, it allows whisky lovers to explore the influence of carefully selected American oak casks.
Maturation and Cask Influence
Octomore 09.1 Dialogos matures for five years in first-fill ex-American oak casks. These casks previously held ex-bourbon or ex-Tennessee whiskey. Consequently, the oak enhances the whisky without overpowering its smoky core.
The interaction between spirit and wood adds depth and sweetness. Layers of dark toffee, creamy vanilla, and toasted coconut emerge on the nose and palate. Meanwhile, the peat smoke remains intense yet refined.
Because it is non-chill filtered and colouring free, every drop reflects authenticity. The natural oils and textures stay intact. Therefore, you experience the whisky exactly as intended by Head Distiller Adam Hannett.
Flavour Profile and Tasting Experience
On the nose, expect waves of maritime smoke and sweet malt. Hints of caramel and oak spice follow closely behind. The palate is powerful yet controlled. Rich peat, charred oak, and sweet vanilla combine in perfect harmony.
The finish is long, warming, and deeply smoky. Subtle notes of coconut and dark sugar linger beautifully. Each sip evolves in the glass, offering new layers of complexity.
This Islay single malt perfectly embodies courage and craftsmanship. It is conceived, distilled, matured, and bottled on Islay, Scotland.
