Octomore 9.2 is a 5-year-old Islay single malt from Bruichladdich’s ultra-peat Octomore line. A bold entry for peat lovers, it pairs massive smoke with coastal brightness, yielding layers of iodine, citrus, and vanilla-coated malt. A limited, dialogue-ready dram for those seeking intensity without losing balance.

- Palate: Full-bodied and oily; medicinal peat, briny salt, citrus oils, toasted barley, and a touch of warm spice.
- Finish: Long, maritime finish with persistent smoke, mineral notes, and subtle citrus sparkle.
