From Bruichladdich: "Our Octomore .2 editions are distilled from 100% Scottish barley, as per their .1 counterpart. Crucially, they are differentiated by a European oak maturation. Think along the lines of ex-Amarone, ex-Sauternes, ex-Austrian sweet wines and the like. Each edition has a different composition of casks, and the decision lies in the fate of our head distiller." This travel-retail exclusive whisky was made with barley malted to 167 ppm. The spirit spent the first six years of maturation in one of three different styles of wine cask: French Mourvedre, Austrian sweet wine, and French Sauternes. Image courtesy of Bruichladdich.
