This has intense notes of malted barley, black tea, golden syrup, burning heather and smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Octomore 9 series has been named dialogos (dialogue in ancient Greek) in recognition of the whisky's ability to provoke debate amongst whisky enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose : Low smoke and peat compared to the 09.1. The nose on this one is so complex and layered. It starts with honey nut Cheerios, and then weaves in and out of earthy umami tones. It’s musty and reminds me of old books in a library. I get mushroom and subdued honey that is mixed with orange peel. On the end, I pick up fresh whipped cream made with Madagascar vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate : Hot and oily mouthfeel, which is definitely more high-octane than the 09.1, but is nice and warming rather than a straight up burn. It’s smoky and rich with vanilla. While it isn’t viscous, I get a sense of simple syrup. A little citrus peel pops up at the beginning, but then it dissipates. Some baking spices surface among the middle, which adds extra heat in the middle. You can taste the influence of the French wine casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e62.9% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruichladdich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54686733599045,"sku":"5055807410854","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4024363739.jpg?v=1746546641","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/bruichladdich-octomore-09-3-5-year-old-dialogos","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
