Bruichladdich Octomore 10.1 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 59.8% Age: 5 Years Old Country: Scotland PPM:107
Distilled from Scottish barley in 2013, Octomore 10.1 is the benchmark of the 10s series. Deliberately stripped back to an ex- American oak maturation, aged just 5 years old, the .1 edition exposes the structure and presence of the Octomore spirit. Combining smoke with a modest maturation, this 10.1 first and foremost demonstrates the true potential of a considered, patient distillation.
