OCTOMORE - 13.3 - Edition 2022 - 61.1%
Bruichladdich Distillery is located on the island of Islay , Scotland . It produces Single Malts whiskeys under three labels: Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore . The distillery also makes The Botanist Gin. The distillery was built in 1881 by the Harvey brothers. After family disputes, William Harvey ran the business until a fire in 1934 and his death in 1936. Over the following decades it changed hands several times and was finally closed in 1994. In 2000 Bruichladdich was acquired by a group of investors led by Mark Reynier of Murray McDavid (also known today for his Waterford whiskeys in Ireland). The entire distillery has been dismantled and rebuilt, although it retains its Victorian equipment, it is gravity fed and has no computer controlled processes. In 2012, the company was acquired by Rémy Cointreau . The Bruichladdich distillery attaches great importance to the origin of the barley in its production and marketing.
The Bruichladdich range is unpeated, heavily peated expressions are released as Port Charlotte and the Octomore series is a limited edition series with the highest peat levels of any Single Malt.
Octomore 13.3 was distilled in 2016 from the 2015 harvest of Scottish Concerto barley grown at the Octomore farm. The whiskey is aged for 5 years in a combination of first fill ex-whiskey American casks and second fill European oak casks : Rivesaltes (France) and Ribera del Duero (Spain).
