Bruichladdich Octomore 10 Year Old 6th Release Limited Edition 2024

Octomore is the super-heavily peated single malt produced by Bruichladdich distillery, the most routinely heavily peated in the world. The whisky is named after the farm of the same name, located on a hillside north of the town of Port Charlotte. Having been traditionally an un-peated Single Malt due to the needs of its former owners for their blends, Murray McDavid was quick to diversify the Bruichladdich portfolio, also introducing the more lightly peated Port Charlotte and Lochindaal.
This is the 6^th edition of the 10 Year Old from Octomore, part of the Series 15 - released in 2024. A base of Octomore aged in first fill bourbon (50%) was layered with spirit aged in Pineau des Charentes casks (15%), second fill Pedro Ximénez sherry butts (25%) and first fill red wine casks (10%). All casks were blended and left to marry for the final six months of aging.
This is a Distillery Exclusive release.

Please note: The Octomore range outer tins are extremely prone to dings and scratches. The tins often arrive into our warehouse suffering from minor damage in transit. This is out of our control. When we dispatch to our customers, we will re-pack to avoid further damage in transit but collectors should have reasonable expectations in this regard.
