Octomore Edition 08.3 Masterclass 309 PPM Islay Barley 5yo 61.2% 700ml information

The Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 08.3 Masterclass is a single malt Scotch whisky that pushes the boundaries of peatiness with a phenol level of 309ppm, making it one of the most heavily peated whiskies ever produced. Distilled in 2009 using barley grown in a single field on Islay, this whisky encapsulates the essence of its unique terroir. The barley was harvested in 2008 and malted in 2009, during a challenging late harvest affected by wind and rain, resulting in an exceptional phenol reading of 309.1ppm. This Octomore was matured for five years in a combination of first-fill Bourbon casks and ex-wine casks from Paulliac, Ventoux, Rhone, and Burgundy, enriching its complexity. With an ABV of 61.2%, the Octomore 08.3 showcases intense peatiness alongside flavors of dark chocolate, cherry, and peach, while hints of tobacco, leather, and sweet fruits emerge upon careful tasting. It’s a robust and multifaceted whisky, appealing to both hardcore peat enthusiasts and those seeking a unique sensory adventure. Produced by the renowned Bruichladdich Distillery, this limited edition of 18,000 bottles is a must-try for whisky aficionados.
