From The Official Website

Octomore 12.3 is single vintage, single field, single malt. Raised in Church Field on Octomore Farm by friend and farmer James Brown, this Islay grown barley has been trickle distilled through our tall narrow necked stills just two miles from where it was grown. This terroir-driven spirit would take two separate journeys before being combined; 75% was filled into ex-American whiskey casks, while the remaining 25% spent five years maturing in genuine Pedro Ximenez Solera casks from Jerez bodega Fernando de Castilla. This Islay barley spirit has breathed slowly and delicately for five aged years, its salty citrus marine note resulting from the locale of where the barley was grown and our warehouses proximity to the sea. The Pedro Ximenez casks contribute sweet dried fruit notes which highlight the rich dry peat smoke of Octomore.

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.
