Octomore Futures 2002 5 Year Old
From Islay distillery, Bruichladdich, this bottle contains 5-year-old whisky that was distilled in 2002 and left to mature in a Bourbon/Buffalo Trace cask for 5 years. It was bottled in 2008 by the distillery as part of their Octomore Futures range, and is the first ever release in Bruichladdich’s Octomore range of heavily peated whiskies.
We know of Bruichladdich these days for being quite ‘punk rock’ in their attitudes towards peating, casks, and general experimentation. As is always the case, this wasn’t the distillery’s MO for its entire life. From being founded in 1881, traded between individuals and small conglomerates, being closed on three separate occasions, and releasing twenty-eight limited edition bottles in its early rebirth, Bruichladdich has certainly been through the mill.
Something which remained true throughout most of Bruichladdich’s history was the low peating or sometimes lack of peating across their bottled stock. Through expressions such as Octomore, Port Charlotte, Lochindaal Bruichladdich have released more classic Islay expressions. Octomore includes the most heavily peated whiskies in the world.
