Bruichladdich Octomore 14.3 Single Malt Whisky

Octomore 14.3 emerges from the barley fields of Islay. Cultivated on a single farm just a mere two miles from the Bruichladdich Distillery. Its maturation journey unfolds within a symphony of first-fill ex-American whiskey casks and second-fill wine casks, allowing the oak to exert influence without overshadowing the essence of the Islay barley, capturing the unique terroir and flavour of the island.
