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 peated to an astonishing 309.1ppm! It started with the same maltings and distillation as the regular 08.3 release, but was matured an additional 2 years, in a marriage of 50% 1st fill bourbon casks and 50% red wine casks. Tasted at Octomore Masterclass in Warehouse 12 with Head Distiller Adam Hannett at Bruichladdich Open Day at Feis Ile 2019.
