Bruichladdich Octomore 08.4 Masterclass Virgin Oak Single Malt Whisky

Bruichladdich Octomore 08.4 Masterclass Virgin Oak

Octomore is the super-heavily peated single malt produced by Bruichladdich distillery, the most routinely heavily peated in the world. The whisky is named after the farm of the same name, located on a hillside north of the town of Port Charlotte. Having been traditionally an un-peated single malt due to the needs of its former owners for their blends, Murray McDavid were quick to diversify the Bruichladdich portfolio, also introducing the more lightly peated Port Charlotte and Lochindaal.

For the 2018 release, the whisky was matured for 8 years, 20% of which has been matured full-term in virgin oak casks. The remainder was initially matured in first-fill bourbon casks before being finished in virgin oak casks that previously held Octomore 07.4.

Please note: The Octomore range outer tins are extremely prone to dings and scratches. The tins often arrive into our warehouse suffering from minor damage in transit. This is out of our control. When we dispatch to our customers, we will re-pack to avoid further damage in transit but collectors should have reasonable expectations in this regard.
