From Bruichladdich: "Octomore .3 editions are distilled from 100% Islay barley. They are single estate, single vintage bottlings from barley grown on friend and farmer James Brown’s land. Octomore farm lies around two miles south of Bruichladdich Distillery, with the name for the series originating from the farm, where the Montgomery’s once distilled. These whiskies are generally matured in a mixture of ex-American and ex-European oak, subject to change for each edition." This whisky was distilled in 2010 from grain harvested from a single field called Lorgba in 2009. The malt was peated to 169ppm and matured on Islay in American oak barrels married to Spanish wine casks from Ribera del Duero.
