3x30ml drams from the original bottlings of Octomore 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3
The Octomore 12.1 from Bruichladdich, distilled on the isle of Islay and boasting a characteristically peaty profile. Produced with 100% Scottish barley, it has been peated to 130.8PPM and matured for five years in first-fill American whiskey casks before being bottled up at a hefty 59.3% ABV.
The Octomore 12.2 release from Islay's Bruichladdich, which was aged for five years. As with the rest of the range, you're in for a peaty treat here, though there's a bit of a balancing act going to with this particular expression. It was initially aged in first and second-fill American whiskey casks but then finished in first-fill Sauternes wine casks! The intense peat (this one sits at a robust 129.7PPM) 57.3% ABV
For its Octomore 12.3 release, the Bruichladdich Distillery used barley distilled on Islay - specifically from Octomore Farm. Peated to 118.1PPM, this expression was aged in a combination of first-fill American whiskey casks and first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry casks from Fernando de Castilla (75% American whiskey casks, 25% Pedro Ximénez casks). Powerfully peaty, with radiant notes of sherried fruit shining through. 62.1% ABV
