This limited edition release, with only 36,000 bottles available, is a tribute to the Octomore Distillery and the Montgomery family's lost Islay distillery.

Bottled in 2017 at 58.4% ABV, the Octomore 08.2 showcases the distillery's commitment to innovation and excellence. The velvety, smooth spirit is a testament to Bruichladdich's dedication to preserving traditional distillation methods while pushing the boundaries of flavor and complexity. The whisky is presented in a stylish tin, weighing approximately 1.47kg, making it a truly unique and desirable addition to any whisky collection.
Founded in 1881, Bruichladdich has a rich history of whisky production, surviving various ownership changes and challenges before being revitalized in 2000 by a consortium led by Mark Reynier. Today, Bruichladdich continues to produce exceptional whiskies, staying true to its roots while constantly exploring new techniques and flavors. The Octomore Edition 08.2 Masterclass is a shining example of the distillery's commitment to crafting exceptional whiskies that celebrate its heritage and captivate whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
