OCTOMORE - 10.4 - 63.5%<\/strong><\/span><\/p>
The Bruichladdich Distillery<\/strong> is nestled on the mythical island of Islay<\/strong>, in Scotland<\/strong>, the birthplace of exceptional whiskies. This iconic distillery produces Single Malt whiskies under three prestigious brands: Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte, and Octomore<\/strong>. Additionally, it also produces the famous The Botanist Gin<\/strong>, known for its finesse and unique botanical ingredients. Founded in 1881 by the Harvey brothers, Bruichladdich has a rich and eventful history. After family conflicts, William Harvey<\/strong> took over until the fire of 1934 followed by his death in 1936. The distillery changed owners several times over the decades before closing its doors in 1994. In 2000, a group of investors led by Mark Reynier<\/strong> from Murray McDavid (known for its Waterford whiskeys in Ireland) revived Bruichladdich, completely dismantled and then rebuilt while preserving its Victorian-era equipment. Operating by gravity and without modern automation, this unique distillery values artisanal quality. In 2012, Bruichladdich joined the Rémy Cointreau group<\/strong>. The distillery places the local origin of barley at the heart of its values, ensuring authenticity and traceability in its production and marketing.<\/p>
The Bruichladdich range is distinguished by its unpeated style, while heavily peated versions are grouped under the Port Charlotte<\/strong> label. The Octomore<\/strong> series is an exclusive collection of limited editions, famous for having the highest peat levels in the world among Single Malt whiskies, offering an unparalleled tasting experience for discerning enthusiasts.<\/p>
The Octomore 10.4<\/strong> was distilled in 2016<\/strong> from Scottish barley of the 2015 harvest, Concerto variety, selected for its exceptional quality. This unique whisky matured for 3 years in French virgin oak<\/strong>, coming from twenty-eight Limousin oak casks carefully toasted at high temperature before filling in warehouse 12. This exclusive production yielded 12,000 bottles<\/strong>, each revealing the power and complexity characteristic of this exceptional vintage.<\/p>
