Bruichladdich
Distilled from Scottish barley in 2013,
As is traditional, October 9.1 sets the tone for the 9 series. This intensely peaty single malt is designed to demonstrate that ingredients and distillation methods can create young whisky which is superior to those prized simply for their age. Matured in ex-American whiskey casks for five years, this is elegant, smoky and sweet with notes of toffee, earthy peat, fudge, coconut and rose petal.
The Octomore 9 series has been named dialogos (dialogue in ancient Greek) in recognition of the whisky's ability to provoke debate amongst whisky enthusiasts.
Although not for the faint hearted, Octomore is a magnificently muscular spirit that pays tribute to the raw materials, geography and climate of the island of Islay like no other.
