Bruichladdich – Octomore – 5 Year Old – 07.3 Islay Barley

Distilled on the windswept Isle of Islay, Octomore 5 Year Old showcases the raw power of heavily peated Scotch whisky – a remarkable 169ppm. Crafted in 2010 using 100% Islay-grown barley from the single Lorgba field, this Bruichladdich expression embodies the terroir of its origin. Matured initially in American oak, it gains complexity through finishing in Spanish wine casks from the Ribero del Duero region, imparting rich fruit notes alongside the signature smoky intensity. The result is a bold and unforgettable single malt, a testament to Islay’s unique character.
