Bruichladdich Distillery

Octomore 17.1

ABV: 59.7% 70 cL

Edition 17.1 is a powerful start to the 17 series, a marriage of smoke and char from full term maturation in first fill bourbon barrels. 

Distilled using 100% Scottish Mainland Concerto barley, malted to 81.0 PPM and aged for 5 years, it is smoky, salty and sweet.

Vanilla milkshake, Scottish tablet and warm custard tart meet pear drops and malt syrup. The peat builds in waves: dry, earthy smoke, smouldering oak and ash. Salinity cuts through the sweetness, creating clarity.

This Islay single malt Scotch Whisky is an exercise in refinement an control. Profound yet balanced smoke demonstrates Octomore's signature interplay of intensity and finesse.

Bottled by Bruichladdich Distillery, at natural cask strength, natural colour and no chill filtration.

The Bruichladdich name comes from the Scottish Gaelic 'Bruthach a' Chladaich', which means brae by the shore. The distillery was founded in 1881 by the Harvey Brothers. The distillery changed hands many times until 1994 when it was shut down as 'surplus to requirements’. It remained mothballed until December 2000, when it was purchased by private investors. It took nearly six months to resume the distillation, as Bruichladdich had never seen any modernisation efforts from the previous owners. In 2012, it was taken over by Remy Cointreau. Today, Bruichladdich produces three different styles of whisky: their classic unpeated under the name Bruichladdich, heavily seated port Charlotte and the world’s most peaty malt - Octomore.
