This bottling of a 5-year-old Octomore from the 14th series of The Impossible Equation is very heavily peated (214.2ppm) and bottled at cask strength. The whisky was made from barley from Islay and matured in ex-bourbon and ex-cognac casks.
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.
