Bruichladdich® Octomore 10 Years Single Malt Whiskey

Octomore… it’s that moment when the rules change. You just have to trust in your instincts. There’s no questioning whether we’ve made the right choices with our Scottish barley, fermentation time, in the patient distillation or the oak we’ve filled. From that point on, you just have to relinquish control and let the liquid lead you. It’s like you’ve got to take a leap of faith… close your eyes and jump… see where you land. - Adam Hannett, Head Distiller

While the malt for our Octomore Ten Year Old is initially higher in PPM, the influence of those 5 extra years results in a calmer, deeper spirit. Seventy-seven casks in total have been combined to create this super heavily peated Islay single malt. The maturation profile is predominantly ex-American whiskey cask matured, with hints of previous releases married together – all from 2009 vintages of spirit. All 100% Scottish barley distilled spirit; matured in a combination of first fill ex-American whiskey casks, second fill ex-American whiskey casks and American Virgin Oak. This complex blend was transferred to second fill ex-American whiskey casks in 2018 before bottling.
