Bruichladdich Octomore 6.3 - Islay Barley

For the first time, an Octomore distilled from 100% Islay Barley, and harvested in 2008 by farmer James Brown at Lorgba, a single field on his Octomore farm.
Distilled in 2009 and bottled 2014.

This Bruichladdich Octomore Islay Barley 6.3 is peated to an absolutely stratospheric 258ppm, the highest ever (so far) released in the industry.
It is also a whopping 64% vol.

In homage to its origins, this is Octomore of Octomore.

Bruichladdich Tasting notes:
Nose - it opens with a call of the sea - the thundering West coast waves driving a gentle mist onto the moorland and tempting the wild plants to release their unique aromas. Notes of myrtle, meadowsweet, mint and heather flowers drift across the nose. Wild thyme and red clover dance in perfect harmony with the strong uplifting peatiness of the Islay grown barley. It’s exhilarating, and seriously dramatic.
Palate - When the heat of the peat fires cool there is a spontaneous detonation of soft red grapes, cherries, Russian toffee, bitter chocolate, maple syrup and mellow oak. It is a taste like no other, a whisky cut loose, unhindered, unchanged. This is sorcery.
Finish - Long and strong, it warms the soul and lifts the heart. It evokes memories of those early years when the sweat of men instilled the spirit with a unique character. Join us as we look to the past, celebrating our Islay DNA while journeying into the future in a never ending quest for the rainbow's end.
