Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 16.2 Scotch Whisky 700ML

The Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 16.2 is a super-heavily peated single malt Scotch whisky that showcases the distillery's commitment to innovation and quality. Crafted from 100% Scottish Concerto barley malted to a phenol level of 101.4 parts per million (PPM), this expression is aged for five years in a combination of Oloroso sherry, Bordeaux wine, Madeira, and Portuguese Moscatel casks. This unique maturation imparts a rich complexity to the whisky, blending the intense peat character with the nuanced flavors derived from the diverse cask influences.
