The Octomore 08.3 - 5 Year Old is a unique single malt whisky crafted by Bruichladdich distillery. The peat level at malting, measured at 309.1ppm (phenol parts per million), sets a benchmark in the whisky industry.
The barley used for this whisky was grown on Islay. It matured for five years, with 56% of it in first fill ex-Bourbon American oak casks, while the remainder matured in European oak casks previously hosting Pauillac, Ventoux, Rhone, and Burgundy wines.
Released as part of the Masterclass series, the Octomore 08.3 - 5 Year Old was limited to 18,000 bottles, marking it as a notable edition in the distillery's offerings due to its high peating level and distinctive maturation process.
