About this bottle

Octomore X4+10 is a limited edition release in Bruichladdich's super heavily-peated range. It's dubbed X4 as the single malt was distilled four times instead of two reaching an ABV of 89% after distillation. It was made with 100% Scottish-grown barley peated to 162ppm in 2007. After 10 years of aging, it is bottled at 70% ABV making this the highest ABV whisky released by the distillery. The barrels used for maturation were a mix of first-fill American whiskey, oloroso sherry, and Rivesaltes vin doux naturel sweet wine casks. Only 3000 bottles available and sold exclusively at the distillery's website.

Drammers Club online pour. Great stuff that can change one’s mind of what they like and don’t like whether cask strength and/or peated.
