Bruichladdich Distillery

Octomore 17.2

ABV: 59.5% 70 cL

Edition 17.2 is a compelling second step in the 17 series journey, a double wood maturation of super heavily peated single malt.

Distilled using 100% Scottish Mainland Concerto barley, malted to 81.0 PPM and aged for 5 years, it is full of pepper, citrus and berries.

Matured in French oak cask that aged Californian red wine, then bourbon before Octomore. Strawberry, blackberry and cassis notes meld with a steadily building peat smoke. Peppery and earthy, lemon zest and lime oils provide brightness.

The port influence amplifies fruit and spice while allowing the barley and peat to remain present. Less overly smoke on the nose, yet profoundly smoky in structure, this Islay single malt Scotch whisky is rich, vibrant and beautifully composed.

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.
