A vibrant and complex Scotch whisky
Octomore: Scottish excellence
Created in 2008 at the Bruichladdich distillery by master distiller Jim McEwan and Mark Reynier, Octomore is a groundbreaking Islay Scotch whisky. Now owned by Rémy Cointreau, it holds the world record for the most heavily peated whisky, with levels exceeding 200 ppm. Its name comes from a historic farm near Port Charlotte. Octomore uses a unique numbering system (.1, .2, .3, .4) to distinguish barley types and maturation. Produced in limited editions since 2008, it combines extreme peaty intensity with remarkable aromatic complexity.
Edition 16.3: a peated whisky aged in bourbon, Sauternes, and Pedro Ximenez casks
Made from 100% Scottish concerto barley grown at the Octomore farm on the Isle of Islay, this whisky is aged for five years in first-fill (55%) and second-fill (15%) bourbon casks, first-fill Pedro Ximenez (14%), and second-fill Sauternes (16%).
