Description
This young Octomore was distilled in 2011 and aged in ex-bourbon barrels for more than eight years.
As expected, it’s packed with pungent smoke, but also offers a wealth of citrus fruit and toasted grain flavours.
Only a limited number of 870 bottles have been produced in total.
Limited to 1 per customer.
Distillery: Bruichladdich
Bruichladdich, Scotland
One of two distilleries on the Rhinns of Islay, the western peninsula of the island, Bruichladdich was founded in 1881.
Over the past 130 years, the distillery has changed hands many times and had frequent closures, but since 2000 it has been reborn, and is yet again at the forefront of Scottish whisky distilling.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Burnt matches and iodine softened by lemon and orange peel, tinned fruit and maraschino cherries. Sumptuous melted caramel and ginger emerge after adding a drop of water.
Palate: The chewy texture instantly erupts with hot peat and astringent smoke, before opening up into sea salt and cracked black pepper. Past the spice, there’s a generous helping of grapefruit marmalade spread on toasted rye bread.
Finish: Dry finish with more citrus fruit, malted barley, tarragon and green tomatoes.
