Bruichladdich Distillery
Octomore 17.4
ABV: 57.2% 70 cL
Octomore Edition 17.4 is a seven year old single malt from Bruichladdich Distillery, on the shores of Loch Indaal on the Isle of Islay. Octomore is Bruichladdich's super-heavily peated range, pairing extreme peating levels with the clean, elegant spirit that comes from the distillery's tall, narrow stills - bold and smoky, yet surprisingly refined.
Edition 17.4 was distilled, matured and bottled on Islay. It began its life in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks before being moved into French virgin oak for a finishing period, a cask combination Bruichladdich describe as one of the richest and most luxurious in the Octomore series.
Oloroso is a full-bodied sherry from Jerez in southern Spain, aged oxidatively so it develops deep, rich and nutty character - first-fill casks pass much of that influence straight on to the spirit. Virgin oak casks have never held any other liquid, so the wood has nothing to give up but itself; French oak in particular is tighter-grained than American oak and is prized for the spice and structure it lends.
The result brings together the weight of the sherry casks and the spice of fresh French oak around Octomore's trademark peat. Bruichladdich present it as a meeting of oak spice and dried fruit, with the peat showing in its most raw and elemental form.
Aged for 7 years and peated to 108.2 PPM, Octomore 17.4 is presented at natural cask strength, with no added colour and no chill filtration.
