DISTILLERY NOTES (provided by Adam Hannett, distiller at Bruichladdich):

Malted at 214.2ppm, Octomore 14.3 is the most heavily-peated Scotch in this year’s bunch, and is distilled exclusively from barley sourced from the distiller’s home of Islay, in order to demonstrate the influence of terroir on flavour. Aged in a combination of bourbon casks and second fill wine casks, there are aromas of sweet mash with toffee, sweet vanilla and earthy smoke on the palate.

Distilled in 2017 from the 2016 harvest of 100% Octomore farm, Islay grown, Concerto barley. Aged five years in a combination of first fill ex American whisky casks and second fill wine casks.
