Bruichladdich Octomore 8.1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL mixed rum The illustration on the labelThe Octomore series is a powerful illustration of the art of the master distiller with each bottling necessarily unique, limited and never to be reproduced. Each individual expression is hand crafted by the Progressive Hebridean Distillers of Bruichladdich on the remote island of Islay. For Octomore 8. 1, the Scottish grown barley is peated to a heavy weight 167ppm. Distilled in 2008 and aged for eight years in 100% first fill American oak casks.
