In 2002 Bruichladdich distillery on the Isle of Islay first distilled the Octomore, the most heavily peated whisky the distillery produced.
800 cases of it were sold as Octomore Futures, I bought one of those futures a few years ago. Then the wait began...
In 2008 the wait was over: In April Jim McEwan decided that the first Octomore was ready to be bottled. In October 2008 I picked up my box from the distillery.
Time to enjoy it...
I must say, it still tastes great :)
Just opened one of my bottles. I especially love it for it's smoothness, besides the heavy peat flavor. And the aft effect of still tasting the whisky about 15 minutes after having had a dram.
