Bruichladdich Octomore 16.1 - 5cl
16.1 is crafted exclusively from 100% Scottish Mainland Concerto Barley, peated to 101.4 PPM and matured for five years in first-fill bourbon casks. Now available in a convenient 5cl format, this 59.3% ABV expression delivers an elegant balance of power and finesse. Intense peat smoke unfolds with unexpected delicacy, revealing layers of salted caramel, honeyed melon, and apricot. Notes of chocolate and coconut follow, carried by a gentle undercurrent of earthy minerality and a lingering, smoky finish.
Bruichladdich Distillery
This distillery was built in 1881 by the owners of grain whisky distilleries in Glasgow. This distillery (and the two grain distilleries) were used to supply the market with blended whisky. When the distillery was built, it differentiated itself from other Islay distilleries for its modern design and tall stills which produced a lighter spirit.
The distillery was badly affected by a fire in 1934 and, after it refurbished, it went through many changes of ownership. In 2001 a group of investors acquired it and promptly appointed legendary distiller Jim McEwan as head of distillation.
