The best Octomore is the Octomore you don't expect. We found this gorgeous @bruichladdich Octomore 12.3 by happenstance and didn't even hesitate. Then we read @drinkdistiller's review, which confirmed we made the right decision. 25% of the distillate spent 5 years in Pedro Ximenez Solera Casks (!), while the rest built the backbone in ex-American oak. But what we love most is that it is made from barley grown in a single field on Islay at Octomore Farm and is comprised of a single vintage. What beautiful work! The PX cask gives it a sweetness that truly complements the 118.1 PPM peat. Extreme dark chocolate sprinkled with pepper and wrapped in leather, in tandem with caramel chews. This installment gets all the thumbs up! . . . #bruichladdich #octomore #octomorefarm #islaybarley #singlefield #singlevintage #heavilypeated #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #whiskey #aquavitae #uiscebeatha #uisgebeatha #Islay #peat #whiskyaesthetic #womenwhowhiskey Bruichladdich Octomore 12.3 62.1% ABV, No Age Statement Region: Islay Cask: Ex-American Oak, Pedro Ximenz Solera (at Salem, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiZDOsSrU40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Battle of the Bruichladdichs. It's amazing how different the two Port Charlottes are. But both delicious. #bruichladdich #portcharlotte #islay #scottishbarley #islaybarley #theladdie #whiskeytribe @bruichladdich The Laddie Non-chill filtered at 50% ABV Cask: American oak Region: Islay Unpeated PC Scottish Barley Non-chill filtered at 50% ABV Region: Islay Peated at 40 ppm PC Islay Barley Non-chill filtered at 50% ABV Cask: European and American Oak Region: Islay Peated at 40 ppm https://www.instagram.com/p/BnQDZU5n4P1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16c9nqywl9g9d

Good Morning all from #WildandMagicIslayWhiskyTours - with a fantastic dram of Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2009. 50% abv. Barley from Claggan, Cruach, Island & Mulindry Farms. Sparkling gold, only been in a Bourbon cask, which means you think of vanilla , honey and toffee notes. But also from the Bruichladdich character you get a creaminess in the feel of the liquid in the mouth. It's musty, dusty - wet barley smell - not cereal, but fresh, wet barley. Hint of ozone, sea warm yet ethereal. Mushrooms, sunny, honey, alive, zesty - yet lazy. Not a sharp zing of a dram. Lovely lingering feeling in the chest. A well balanced whisky. #SlàintenahAlba ISLAY WHISKY ACADEMY #www.WildandMagicIslay.com Whisky Tours #Bruichladdich #IslayMalt #Islaybarley #ScotchWhisky
