It's been a while since we have been able to bring you the world's peatiest Single Malt but wait no longer! Just 52 tonnes of precious Islay barley were malted to produce this single farm Octomore - 09. 3 edition. Raised in Irene’s Field on Octomore Farm in 2011, this uber-provenance single malt was later distilled and filled into 134 casks. Predominantly second-fill, the gentler influence of the wood allows more of the locally grown barley flavours to cut through the legendary peat smoke.
