Bruichladdich Octomore 13.3 Islay Single Malt is distilled from barley grown on Islay, on one singular farm and demonstrates the phenomenal force of flavour when combining super-heavy peat with the variable harvests gathered from the island of Islay. Matured in first fill ex-American whiskey barrels and a selection of second fill European oak casks from the Rivesaltes region of France and the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. The resut is a scotch whisky with a subtle structure; expect notes of vanilla and brown sugar, balanced by fresh green fruit notes. A gentle and dry smoke builds to a long finish with hints of creosote and sea spray.
