OCTOMORE - 9.2 - 58.2%<\/strong><\/span><\/p>
Bruichladdich is an iconic distillery located on the Scottish island of Islay, globally renowned for its exceptional whiskies distilled under the prestigious Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte, and Octomore labels, true benchmarks in the world of fine spirits.<\/p>
Founded in 1881 by the Harvey brothers in the westernmost part of Islay, the Bruichladdich distillery has a rich history marked by dramatic events such as a fire in 1934 and leadership changes following William Harvey's death in 1936. Over the decades, the distillery experienced various ownerships before closing in 1994. In 2000, a visionary group of investors led by Mark Reynier of Murray McDavid revived production, completely dismantling and then reassembling the distillery while preserving its admirable Victorian equipment. Bruichladdich stands out for its natural production process, notably gravity-fed and completely free of computer automation, ensuring an artisanal whisky of exceptional quality. Since 2012, the Rémy Cointreau group has owned this exceptional brand, bringing increased international prominence.<\/p>
The Octomore series is an exclusive collection of limited editions, renowned for having the highest peat levels in the world in the Single Malt category. The origin of the barley used is also a key element: Octomore Farm, located on peaty soil on a hillside above Port Charlotte, is a historic terroir where barley was grown and transformed into whisky as early as the 1800s, ensuring unmatched authenticity and aromatic richness.<\/p>
The Octomore 9.2 is an exceptional peated whisky, aged 5 years with an impressive 156 PPM (phenols per million), distilled in 2012. This Single Malt matured for four years in ex-American oak casks before finishing in carefully selected French oak barrels from the prestigious Bordeaux wine region, giving it a unique aromatic complexity, blending peaty power and woody elegance.<\/strong><\/p>
