Octomore 16.3 is an extraordinary limited-edition release from Bruichladdich Distillery, known for its record-breaking peat levels, this time reaching an intense 189.5 PPM. Aged for 5 years in a combination of ex-bourbon and PX casks, this Islay single malt delivers a powerful smoky punch, balanced by the sweetness from the Pedro Ximénez influence.
Crafted from 100% Islay-grown Concerto barley from Octomore Farm, this release showcases the essence of Islay’s terroir. Bottled un-chill filtered, with no added color, and at an impressive 61.6% ABV, Octomore 16.3 is a peaty powerhouse that’s not for the faint-hearted, yet offers a complexity that experienced whisky lovers will appreciate.
Distilled under the watchful eye of Head Distiller Adam Hannett, Octomore 16.3 is a must-have for collectors of rare Islay whiskies and those seeking the ultimate smoky experience.
