From The Official Website

Octomore 14.3 demonstrates the extraordinary pursuit of flavour when combining super-heavy peat (214.2 parts per million) with the variable local harvests from its island home.

The Islay barley used in Octomore 14.3, grown just two miles from the distillery on Octomore farm, delivers a cereal-forward single malt â celebrating the profound impact of the natural, raw ingredient and the renaissance of the farming community who grew it.

Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, has expertly coaxed the flavour from the Islay barley in this high-provenance single malt. Matured in a combination of first-fill ex-American whiskey casks and second-fill wine casks, the oak influences but never dominates the grain – capturing the terroir and unique flavour of the Islay barley.

Aromas of hot, sweet mash are unmistakable on the nose, with the soft, biscuit notes of the malted barley complementing the earthy peat smoke. While smouldering peat lingers, creamy porridge and cereal notes of the Islay barley are balanced with butterscotch, honeycomb and a hint of vanilla.

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.
