Entire Octomore Edition 12 Collection

Octomore single malts have defied whisky wisdom since they were first distilled in 2002. Bottled bold and brazen at 5 years old, always super heavily peated and cask strength, every edition is a liquid embodiment of ‘The Impossible Equation’. Octomore is peated to never-seen-before levels, and the results so far have wowed whisky lovers worldwide.

We’re giving one Whiskatorian the chance to WIN the ENTIRE Octomore Edition 12 series! Consisting of three bottles, these bottles were released by Bruichladdich just this month marking another chapter in its super peaty Scotch single malt whisky offerings.

One Whiskatorian will win…

Octomore Edition 12.1 / 130.8PPM / 5 Aged Years

Nowhere is the dualism of the Octomore super heavily peated series more pertinent than in the .1 edition. Never as expected, delicate but powerful, this is unadulterated heavy smoke balanced with Bruichladdich’s iconic vivacious and dynamic, fruity and floral distillate. While Octomore in itself does not conform to tradition, Head Distiller Adam Hannett is inclined to mature Octomore .1 editions solely in ex-American whiskey casks for 5 vibrant years.

Octomore Edition 12.2 / 129.7PPM / 5 Aged Years

Octomore 12.2 follows in the footsteps of previous Sauternes legends. This Octomore 12.2 would spend three and a half years in ex-American oak casks, building a solid foundation of fruity and floral spirit in Bruichladdich’s lochside warehouses before being recasked in to impeccable quality Sauternes casks. The pivotal role of the Sauternes casks would add 18 months of supercharged fruit. These whiskies confirmed that heavy peat smoke combined with sweet dessert wine of Sauternes is an incredible pairing.

Octomore Edition 12.3 / 118.1PPM / 5 Aged Years

Octomore 12.3 is single vintage, single field, single malt. Raised in Church Field on Octomore Farm by friend and farmer James Brown, this Islay grown barley has been trickle distilled through Bruichladdich’s tall narrow necked stills just two miles from where it was grown. 75% was filled into ex-American whiskey casks, while the remaining 25% spent five years maturing in genuine Pedro Ximenez Solera casks.
