4. Enjoy a dram of Bruichladdich Distillery’s Octomore single malts
Where: Selected whisky retailers, website
Bruichladdich Distillery has recently unveiled the 13th annual series of Octomore in Malaysia, so you can now enjoy the trio of super-heavily peated single malts (or gift them to a whisky collector) in time for the festive season. In each new Octomore series, the distillery pushes the limits of single malt whisky, exploring barley provenance, terroir, varying peat levels and cask management in the pursuit of flavour.
The Octomore 13.1 forms the backbone of the series, malted to 137.3 PPM and refilled into ex-American oak casks—resulting in notes of rich toffee, coconut and vanilla. Similarly, the Octomore 13.2 is distilled from 100 per cent Scottish Mainland barley and malted to the same 137.3 PPM, but is instead matured in first-fill Oloroso butts from Jerez, Spain. Lastly, the Octomore 13.3 is matured in a foundational parcel of first fill ex-American whiskey barrels and a supplementary selection of second fill European oak casks, and malted to 129.3 PPM. It has notes of vanilla and brown sugar, counterbalanced with fresh fruit.
The full Octomore 13 series is available for purchase through online platforms such as bruichladdich.com and in specialist whisky retailers. For more information, visit Bruichladdich Distillery’s website.
