From The Official Website

Octomore 14.2 uses the same barley varietal and is malted to the same PPM as the 14.1, but the liquids diverge profoundly with the influence of wine and sherry casks on the 14.2 spirit.

With over 200 different cask types in the warehouses, Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, has selected casks that have previously held Oloroso and Amarone â with the distinct sweetness and nuttiness of this combination creating an exceptional single malt.

Hailing from the renowned wine regions of Spain and Italy respectively, the spirit is then brought together in French oak, adding remarkable depth and complexity to the single malt. Octomore’s signature peak smoke notoriously pairs well with Oloroso sherry casks, with the influence of the wood adding a robust, savoury flavour to the final spirit.

The oak from the Amarone casks also has a significant impact on the spirit, imparting rich, red fruit notes – giving structure and cohesion to the 14.2.

Discover Bruichladdich

Bruichladdich

Nestled on the southwestern tip of the wild and windswept Isle of Islay, Bruichladdich distillery stands as a proud testament to the art of traditional whisky-making, while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of modern innovation. Established in 1881 by the Harvey brothers, this distillery has seen its fair share of triumphs and tribulations, including periods of dormancy and revival.

Reborn in the year 2000 under the guidance of visionary Jim McEwan and the stewardship of Mark Reynier, Bruichladdich quickly cemented its place as a bastion of transparency and craftsmanship. The distillery produces a fascinating spectrum of whiskies, from the unpeated elegance of Bruichladdich Classic Laddie to the heavily peated ferocity of Octomore, the most heavily peated single malt in the world.

Bruichladdich’s commitment to terroir is unparalleled, with a fierce dedication to using 100% Scottish barley and embracing a wide variety of cask types for maturation. The distillery’s Victorian equipment and slow distillation methods lend an almost tactile connection to Islay’s heritage, while its progressive ethos ensures it remains at the forefront of the whisky world.
