Scottish Whisky : Scotch
This 15-year-old single malt, spends its final three years in oloroso sherry casks (prior to 12 in bourbon) and is elegantly balanced between the sherry influence and the distillery's fruit and peat characteristics. Breathe in delicious dark chocolate, sun-dried fruits and a tell-tale wisp of Islay smoke. On the palate sip wonderful cedar wood and a rich treacle toffee and savour the robust and complex finish with a hint of sherry tannin.
A 25 year old from the Bowmore distillery aged in American bourbon and Spanish sherry casks. The sherry influence combines wonderfully with the coastal, smoky distillery style to create a sublime aged single malt.
Nose: Dark fruits and coastal smokiness. Slightly herbal.
Palate: Characteristic peat smoke, cocoa and dry, creamy nuttiness.
Finish: Gentle smoke, oak, mocha, hints of prunes.
The Vintner's Trilogy from Bowmore showcases the impact of lengthy wine-cask-finishes on the terrific Islay single malt. The 26-year-old expression began its maturation in ex-bourbon barrels for 13 years, before being moved over to French oak barriques (that previously held wine) for the remaining 13 years.
Nose: Bonfires on the beach (with some grilled pineapple) leading into earthy smoke. Fruity coffee, too.
Palate: Chewy raisins and smoked oak, with a whiff of brandied cherry. A coastal tang develops.
Finish: Salted chocolate and quince jam.

Bruichladdich isn't commonly released by independent bottlers such as Douglas Laing making this all the more collectable.
This bottling was distilled in October 1991 and bottled at 26 years old in November 2017 for the Xtra Old Particular range. It's packed with the citrus fruit, florals and honey character that made the distillery famous before it's 2000 revival (after closing in 1995).

The tenth edition of this limited edition series, Black Art Edition 10 encapsulates the enigmatic alchemy of whisky making; with a reliance on nature, craftsmanship and the passing of time. The barley and cask type remain a mystery, with the final recipe undisclosed.
Whisky making is an ancient art, one that has intrigued and captivated for centuries. Black Art 10 is testament to this elusive mastery.
Pulling exclusively from Bruichladdich Distillery pre renaissance casks which have been patiently maturing on our island home for almost three decades, this finite single malt is secretly created by our Head Distiller, Adam Hannett. What happens inside each cask, under the darkness of the warehouse, remains a mystery.
Putting our trust in Adam, he is given complete creative freedom to create this incredible whisky. With no rules and no restrictions, Black Art Edition 10.1 is unique and unrepeatable. A chance to experiment and push the boundaries of possibility, only Adam knows what has gone into crafting the precious 29 year old single malt.
Unpeated and matured in the finest quality oak, this tenth edition of Black Art is a captivating marriage of faith and ingenuity.
This is the 2011 vintage of Bruichladdich's Bere Barley single malt Scotch whisky, distilled using... Well, bere barley, of course. Bere is a heritage variety of barley that doesn't quite have the sizable yields as other varieties, and thus its popularity waned, but thanks to a resurrection mission by the Barony Mill and Orkney College, it's back in the game for whisky making! This whisky is made with bere barley from Orkney grown in 2010, and matured in first-fill American oak bourbon casks for 10 years before being bottled up at 50% ABV.
Nose: Orange and lime, with herby freshness bringing some savoury balance.
Palate: Toasted nuts, banana chips, milk chocolate, a splash of green apple acidity, sponge cake.
Finish: Hints of sea breeze stick around, with a touch of lemon.

Edition 10.3 / 114 ppm / 6 years old
Distilled in 2013 from the 2012 harvest, the Octomore 10.3 has been brought home by farmer James Brown. Taking on the challenge of growing Islay Barley, he braces the conditions of the wet and wild west coast to combine an exploration of Islay terroir and stratospheric smoke.
For the first time, the .3 is matured for six aged years but crucially only in ex-American oak. These top-quality casks have gently coaxed this Octomore spirit into life in Warehouse 16, next to our 10.1 edition. The components of our 10.1 and 10.3 are so similar, the distinct flavour difference must be owed to the barley?s respective growing location.
A guide to Octomore numbering by Bruichladdich
.1
? Our Octomore .1 editions are distilled from 100% Scottish barley. In recent years they have been primarily aged only in ex-American oak, in varying percentages of different ex-bourbon and ex-Tennessee whiskey casks. They are the backbone of each new series as they demonstrate the raw character of the clean Octomore spirit balanced with the neutral American oak casks.
.2
? Our Octomore .2 editions are distilled from 100% Scottish barley, as per their .1 counterpart. Crucially, they are differentiated by a European oak maturation. Think along the lines of ex-Amarone, ex-Sauternes, ex-Austrian sweet wines and the like. Each edition has a different composition of casks, and the decision lies in the fate of our head distiller.
.3
? Octomore .3 editions are distilled from 100% Islay barley. They are single estate, single vintage bottlings from barley grown on friend and farmer James Brown?s land. Octomore farm lies around two miles south of Bruichladdich Distillery, with the name for the series originating from the farm, where the Montgomery?s once distilled. These whiskies are generally matured in a mixture of ex-American and ex-European oak, subject to change for each edition.
.4
? Our .4 editions first came onto the scene during out 7th series of the world?s most heavily peated single malt. They introduce the influence of the tannic, spicey, brutishness of Virgin Oak. Both Octomore 07.4 and 08.4 were influenced, but not matured full-term, in fresh oak casks. Occasionally, just to keep us doing a ?Bruichladdich? and keeping you on your toes, we replace the .4 edition in the series with something weird and wonderful, like our Octomore 10 year old from the Octomore 9s Dialogos series.
Octomore .2 editions are distilled from 100% Scottish barley as with their .1 counterpart. The main point of difference is that the .2 spirit has spent its entire maturation life in first fill Oloroso sherry butts from Jerez, Spain.
