Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 16.2 Scotch Whisky

Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 16.2

Wine-Finished Peat. A Symphony of Smoke and Sweetness.

Octomore 16.2 invites you deeper into the Series 16 journey, offering a captivating contrast to its bourbon-matured sibling, 16.1. Using the same batch of Scottish Mainland Concerto Barley, peated to 101.4 PPM, this 5-year-old expression is matured in a rich mix of Oloroso and Bordeaux casks, then finished in Madeira and Portuguese Moscatel, creating a multilayered profile that’s both indulgent and elegant.
