It\'s Bruichladdich\'s Octomore 11.3 expression right here, folks! This particular edition was made with barley grown on Islay by James Brown at the Octomore Farm, which is exposed to the coastal breeze of the Atlantic Ocean. After distillation, it was allowed to matured for five years in first-fill American whiskey casks, including ones from Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, Buffalo Track and Jack Daniel\'s. As ever for the Octomore series, this is a heavily peated stuff, weighing in at a hefty 194 PPM. ### Product Description Bruichladdich is based on the utterly wonderful Hebridean isle of Islay and is incredibly proud of it too, promoting much of this Island and what it has to offer on their website. All their whiskies use only Scottish Barley (it’s called Scotch for a reason as they say) and are born and created to reflect the character and history of Islay. Their presentation is cracking too. Tasting Notes Soft vanilla and apricot arrive first, with the smoke slowly building, becoming savoury the longer it goes on.
