Bruichladdich Octomore OBA Redux Rock’ndaal Limited Release

Step into the mysterious outer reaches of super-peated Islay whisky with Octomore OBA Redux Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Conceived by legendary Head Distiller Adam Hannett at the iconic Bruichladdich Distillery, the OBA Redux represents one of the most enigmatic, sought-after, and experiment-driven releases in modern Scotch history. Crafted without disclosing a formal age statement or cask breakdown, OBA Redux challenges traditional tasting paradigms, inviting collectors and peat purists to experience Octomore in its purest, most unconstrained form.

Octomore Black Art (OBA) was introduced by Adam Hannett in 2016 at his inaugural Fèis Ìle Masterclass as Head Distiller. Ten years on, OBA has been reimagined with a striking visual of their Coultorsay warehouse where thousands of casks sit quietly ageing, their stories yet to be explored. Redux - a reimagining of their most famous Octomore Black Art is an homage to their experimental history to celebrate the 25th anniversary.

An Enigmatic Masterpiece for Collectors

The Cult Secret: A limited release of 2,500 bottles, the OBA Redux is a true distiller's canvas. Its extreme global scarcity and unique creation story make it one of the most prized unicorn bottles in the Bruichladdich catalog, heavily sought after by high-end whisky collectors, and peat aficionados worldwide.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma / Nose: Complex, dark, and mesmerizing. Towering peat smoke, warm tar, and medicinal iodine interweave with dried figs, cassis, charred oak, rich vanilla, and dark cocoa.
  • Palate / Flavour: Viscous, explosive, and mouth-coating. Dense campfire ash, black pepper, and salty sea spray merge effortlessly with sweet marzipan, dark stone fruits, toasted coconut, and espresso bean.
  • Finish: Exceptionally long, warming, and coastal. Lingering maritime smoke, dry oak tannins, pipe tobacco, and sweet malt fade slowly over minutes.

Sip Octomore OBA Redux neat to dissect its mysterious cask layers, add a few drops of water to reveal hidden orchard fruit sweetness, or preserve it sealed as a crown jewel in your rare Scotch portfolio.
