Hailing from the renowned wine regions of Spain and Italy respectively, the spirit is then brought together in French oak, adding remarkable depth and complexity to the single malt. Octomore’s signature peak smoke notoriously pairs well with Oloroso sherry casks, with the influence of the wood adding a robust, savoury flavour to the final spirit.
The oak from the Amarone casks also has a significant impact on the spirit, imparting rich, red fruit notes - giving structure and cohesion to the 14.2.
Bruichladdich sits on the shore of Loch Indaal on the Rinns of Islay. The Harvey brothers built it in 1881, and over the next century it closed and reopened several times, finally falling silent in 1994.
