Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jan 2014
Bourbon
Independently bottled Octomore single malt from Islay's Bruichladdich distillery, released as part of Dramfool's Jim McEwan Signature Collection, in which each release is signed off by the former Bruichladdich master distiller himself. Peated to a hefty 139.5PPM, this single malt matured in a Jim Beam bourbon barrel between 2014 and 2023. A release of 228 bottles.
Brilliant opening aromas of peat moorlands in summer with the wind blowing in from the Ocean. The maritime influence works beautifully with the phenol notes from the heather covered peat fields. It’s a unique overture for the olfactory senses to enjoy.
The spirit is strong, smoky, warm and absolutely unique. Hand crafted, no computers, no nonsense, but packed with all the character of Islay and its people.
The flavours of malt, the oak, the location, the Distillers and full maturation by the Atlantic Ocean.
