Description
This fourth release in the tenth series of Octomore – Bruichladdich’s super-heavily peated expression – is described as ‘The Outlier’ in the Dialogos series exploring the range beyond its PPM (the measure of peat in phenols per million). This release was distilled in 2016 from Scottish Concerto barley, peated to 114ppm and aged in virgin Limousin oak casks for three years, making it one of the youngest releases from the Octomore range.
Bottled at a strength of 63.5% abv free from chill filtration and artificial colouring, this expression is limited to 12,000 bottles worldwide. This Islay single malt is designed to be compared with the Octomore 10.1 release which is described at ‘The Control’ and is also produced with Scottish-grown barley, but matured for five years in bourbon barrels.
