This latest Bruichladdich Octomore expression, was distilled from Barley, peated to 167ppm and matured in virgin oak, this being a first for Octomore and a well worth first at that.
This process was uncharted territory, it was the first time that spirit distilled from Scottish malting barley and peated to these colossal levels had been matured in fresh wood but it was a worthy try and for seven years, head distiller Adam Hannett carefully managed the heavyweight flavour profiles in play during the development of this experimental dram - and to this date has now released just 12,000 bottles at 61.2% ABV.
Presentation: 70cl, 61.2%
