#900 - Octomore Event Horizon

As you get older you get to try more and more whiskies, as you probably know I keep a meticulous record of what I've tried in my spreadsheet. So I know that this particular dram is my 900th different one.

A sample swap from @stewedwhisky gave me the chance to try this Fèis Ìle 2019 special release!

#BlindTasting Series 6 Episode 2

Series 6 Episode 2

After a winter hibernation the #BlindTasting team were back to continue Series 6, trying to work out what the 5 drams they'd swapped were and to tell what we thought of them without knowing where they were from. #NoPreconceivedIdeas! If you haven't followed us before you can catch up with all the previous series here.

Visiting the big smoke

There's always a lot of excitement with a visit to the big smoke, especially for us country bumpkins from the far north! But in this case the big smoke is Octomore - the smokiest whisky you can get.
In this case it's not the smokiest version of Octomore but it is the latest - the newly released Edition 09.1 διάλογος (or Dialogos when translated from the Greek).

Add caption

@Bruichladdich have never been shy when coming forward with their new drams or, like most distilleries, giving us a little story to alongside them, in this case:

Dialogos ( διάλογος ) : a written or spoken conversational exchange between two or more people, and a literary and theatrical form that depicts such an exchange.

But that it - there's not lines and lines about some made up history to do with the picture on the bottle or chapter and verse about ancient visitors to Islay - just two simple sentences.

Two little whisky bar recommendations!

This year my family and I made a Road Trip around the South West USA, we had a brilliant time driving along parts of Route 66, Route 89 and visiting many National Parks including the Grand Canyon.
