This bottling of a 5-year-old Octomore from the 13th series is heavily peated (129.3ppm) and bottled at cask strength. The whisky was matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and in wine casks from France (Rivesaltes) and Spain (Ribera del Duero), it was made from 100% barley from Islay.
Octomore refers to a range of whiskies from the Bruichladdich distillery. They are characterised by very strong peaty flavours with record-breaking phenolic content and unmistakable Islay influence and are bottled undiluted.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
