A renowned Scottish distillery a new series of whiskies.
The island-based drinks maker said it is offering a new “super heavily peated whisky”.
Bruichladdich, the Islay-based distillery, said the 15th Octomore series is a “trio of experimental single malt whiskies, consisting of three distinct expressions: Octomore 15.1, Octomore 15.2, and Octomore 15.3”.
“Each expression in the series has been matured for five years, exploring the nuances of barley provenance, cask types, and varying peat levels. The result is a diverse and surprising tasting experience.”

The distillery added: “The latest expressions continue to defy conventional whisky wisdom and are aptly defined as the ‘Impossible Equation’."
Adam Hannett, Bruichladdich Distillery head distiller, said: “Octomore is an experiment. It is purposely designed to spark intrigue and prove the unimaginable. Based on liquid profile alone, this should be a one-dimensional, overly-peated Islay single malt Scotch whisky with no depth – but we’ve created the opposite.”
