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=
