Молодой (5 лет), но мощный и сбалансированный торфяной Islay-виски с солёно-минеральным профилем и сладостью ячменного сахара; опытные ставят его сдержанно (84–88), тогда как остальные чаще восторгаются (90–95), споря лишь, лучший ли это релиз серии 13.
развернуть подробно
В аромате — морская солёность, минеральность, дым и зола, чёрный перец и лёгкая пряность, поверх которых проступают ваниль, карамель, пряный мёд, сливовое варенье и злаковые ноты спелого пшеничного поля; при более чем 61% крепости нос многие находят на удивление мягким, округлым и «настоящим», что приписывают ячменю с Айлы. Вкус маслянистый и неожиданно нежный для неразбавленной крепости: сдержанный торфяной дым, ваниль, карамель, солёная карамель, ячменный сахар, жёлтые фрукты, цитрусы и мёд, с пряными травами (тимьян, розмарин) и морским бризом; послевкусие долгое, сухо-дубовое, копчёно-сладкое, с фруктовыми и цитрусовыми акцентами.
Хвалят за выразительный, «ничего никому не должный» дым, глубину и сложность при столь юном возрасте и за удачный подбор бочек; вода делает вкус деликатнее и цитрусовее, но приглушает свежесть аромата. Критикуют одномерность и всего два ароматических спектра для Octomore, чрезмерную жгучесть и пряность от 61% (спирт «обжигает и немеет язык»), а также завышенную цену. Расхождение systematically: опытные ревьюеры держат оценки в диапазоне 84–88 и называют релиз крепким, но не выдающимся, тогда как менее авторитетные авторы чаще ставят 90–95; при этом даже внутри верхушки нет согласия, считать ли 13.3 лучшим или, наоборот, менее сложным, чем 13.2. Общий разброс оценок широкий (от 75 до 95), но основная масса концентрируется вокруг 87–90.

An extremely successful conclusion to the 13 series, in my opinion the best of the three 13 Octomores. 5yo, you have to let that melt in your mouth in peace (which really won't be very difficult even with this 61.1% Octomore).

At first it seems a bit rough (not unpleasant) and bulky, but after a while it becomes a maritime note. Salty, mineral, greasy-smoky, Longrow-like. With lots of vanilla and spicy honey, the types of casks used hit the mark. plum jam. |

Can't believe how soft it feels on the tongue with its 61.1% undiluted. A real flatterer with a restrained, yet clearly perceptible note of peat smoke, vanilla, caramel, spicy honey, Mirabelle plums, café au lait, nougat and marzipan, some thyme and rosemary as a spice. |

Dry wood slowly spreads, sweet fruit notes until the end, smoked ham, smoked caramel candies. |

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2022/11/18/the-whisky-show-2022-silly-hour Here, we’re enjoying the fruits of Octomore Farm concerto barley from Lorgba & Irene’s fields. C: A chiselled lactic number that reminds me, in part, of Octomore 06.2 [WLP88] with an eau de vie-like husky barley oiliness. A little short of form but still a strong release.

A beautiful, strong, expressive smoke. He owes nothing to anyone. Standard on the nose, vanilla, butter scotch.

The nose is very round, both soft and fruity, mellow, on persimmon and prickly pear, some juicy Mirabelle plums and bananas. The cereals are intense, the impression of being in the middle of a field of ripe wheat, ready to be harvested, it is greedy, slightly earthy. A hint of minerality. The palate is very oily, vinous cereals, but more on yellow fruits, Comices pears and Golden apples, Chasselas grapes, olive oils, puffed rice. Long and smoky finish, very full and intense, still vinous and fruity, but this time with a hint of oil and black earth. Humus, laurel, forest undergrowth. Cones. An excellent product, I believe. I didn't smell too much peat, because I had tasted the 13.1 and the 13.2 just before and I was starting to be saturated. What struck me is that it's very grainy, that made me think of 06.3, but also the wine jostles, so I also thought of 07.3. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2022/12/octomore-2016-edition-133-islay-barley.html

I can't agree with JoshNRW here, for me this is the most interesting and complex of the 13 series, but maybe that's also because this one completely fits my loot scheme.

Fantastic!!! For me, the best whisky from the Octomore 13 series release. Very fruity, warming with perfectly hidden alcohol and a large dose of smoky additives. This is it!!! A drop of water... Aroma: lost intensity and freshness, became more sugary with a milk cow in the foreground, instead of a flower meadow, change to hay. Smoke still noticeable. Here unfortunately on "-" Taste : more delicate, less bitterness, more citrus notes, lemon, a bit of vanilla, chocolate with strawberry filling. Ginger and salty sea breeze disappeared. Gently on the "+" Finish: still long, pleasant, without bitterness but with fruity accents with citrus in the foreground. Also "+" To sum up... For me, this is a whisky to be enjoyed both in its original form and with the addition of water. A bottle is a must-buy!

Octomore 13.1 to 13.3 in comparison. The 1 after the dot means that the Octomore was made with only Scottish barley, the 2nd that it is a cask experiment (for the 13 Oloroso Cask) and the 3rd for an Octomore with barley only from Islay. So far so good. I like the 13.2 better because it's more complex. 13.1 and 13.3 are better Ardbegs, lots of smoke, lots of barley sugar sweetness and a bit more intensity and individuality. But I wouldn't pay more than 100 euros for any of the three. This one is just too spicy for me with its 61.1 percent and the 5 years and the aromas are a bit too one-dimensional for an octomore. There have been many Octomores that I could confidently give 90 or 91 points to. But I definitely can't do that to the three representatives from the 13 series.

If there is a difference to the nose of the 13.1, it is that the 13.3 looks a bit softer, more authentic and rounder in the nose despite its more than 61 percent. (That must be the Islay barley, which goes better with an Islay whisky...:-) |

Dryer and a bit harsher than 13.1. Lots of sweetness, lots of smoke, barley sugar and all in all an amazingly good whisky for a distillate that has only matured for 5 years and essentially only has 2 aroma spectra. The 61 percent here on the palate is clearly too hot for a pleasure whisky. |

Alright, how should the mouthfeel be with a 5 year old whisky with over 61 percent? They can't do magic with Bruichladdich either, but the mouthfeel isn't bad anyway. Mouth-filling and Scottish, I would say. The finish is of medium length, but the tongue is still numbed by the 61 percent after a long time. |

My personal winner of an Octomore vertical tasting. Remarkably deep and complex for such a young age. However, the price is excessive.
