This single cask bottling of a 6-year-old Octomore was produced by the independent bottler Rest & Be: Thankful Whisky Co. The whisky was distilled in 2008, is heavily peated, matured in ex-Rivesaltes wine casks and was bottled at cask strength in 2014.
Octomore refers to a range of whiskies from the Bruichladdich distillery. They are characterised by very strong peaty flavours with record-breaking phenolic content and unmistakable Islay influence and are bottled undiluted.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
