Description
Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 13.3 is the third and final release in the highly acclaimed 13 series and exemplifies the uncompromising philosophy of these legendary super heavy peated whiskies. With an impressive phenol content of 129.3 ppm, this bottling is one of the intensely smoky Islay whiskies, but presents itself with exceptional balance and elegance. It was distilled from 100% Scottish Concerto barley, which was harvested in 2015 and is grown exclusively on the island of Islay. As a result, Edition 13.3 embodies the authentic terroir spirit of Bruichladdich and stands out as a genuine Islay single malt.
The five-year maturation process takes place in a combination of American first-fill whisky casks and European second-fill oak casks, resulting in a fascinating depth and complexity. It is particularly noteworthy that this edition - like its predecessors - is stored exclusively on Islay, allowing the maritime climate to have an unmistakable influence on the maturation. It is bottled at cask strength at 61.1% vol., naturally without chill-filtration and without the addition of colorants, which preserves the full intensity and purity of this whisky.
This exceptional whisky is supplied in a high-quality tin box, which underlines its exclusive appearance and makes it a coveted collector's item for Octomore fans. (automated translation)
