Bruichladdich Octomore 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$117.00 Availability: In StockAbout Bruichladdich Octomore 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Inspired by an entrepreneurial flair and a youthful enthusiasm, the Harvey brothers began construction of the Bruichladdich (pronounced brook-laddie or broo-lah-dee) Distillery in 1881. The brothers were descendants of a dynastic whisky family — their ancestors had already owned distilleries in Scotland for over a century. Today, Bruichladdich Distillery (Bruichladdich means “rocky shore”in ancient Gaelic) remains situated on the shores of Loch Indaal on the island of Islay, and continues to use much of the original equipment installed by the Harvey brothers.
The modern Bruichladdich Distillery is known as the most experimental and adventurous of the Scottish distilleries, and the Bruichladdich Octomore Series represents a singularly unique expression in the world of Scotch whisky.
Bruichladdich Octomore 6.1 is the sixth release in Bruichladdich’s Octomore series. The whisky takes its name from Octomore Farm, a farm situated high above the village of Port Charlotte just two miles away from Bruichladdich Distillery (the farm provides all of the barley used to create Bruichladdich Octomore). Once barley from Octomore Farm has been harvested, it is malted before being peated to 167 phenol parts per million, making it one of the peatiest whiskies in the world. In contrast, other distilleries on Islay such as Laphroaig and Ardbeg peat barley to approximately 40 or 50 phenol ppm, while Leviathan II Whiskey is peated to 110 phenol ppm.
After the barley has been peated, it is mashed using water drawn from the Bruichladdich loch. The water is soft and devoid of minerality, which makes it ideal for mashing and fermenting the barley. Following fermentation, the wash is twice distilled through Bruichladdich’s 130 year-old, 20-foot tall, diamond-shaped stills. The Victorian-era stills produce whisky that is notably floral and elegant. “We have a distillery,” says Jim McEwan, the master distiller at Bruichladdich, “and we know how to use it.”
Once the whisky has been distilled, it is matured for five years in American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. The whisky has a strong, deep aroma of fire and warm, smoky sweetness. The initial flavors of apples, pears, cinnamon and citrus are complemented by a bold and ever-present undertone of smoke. Thick and textured, the whisky finishes with a warm, smoky flavor that lingers.
“This is no monstrous brute,” says McEwan. “It’s an iron fist in the velvet glove. That’s what you get when you combine massively smokey barley with the purest spirit around. It’s like nothing else on earth. It also shows what great quality barley, slow, artisan distill ing, and premium quality wood can achieve.”
Much like Bruichladdich Octomore 6.1, Bruichladdich Octomore 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from barley harvested on Octomore Farm. Once the barley has been harvested, it is malted and peated to 80.5 phenol parts per million. Then, the barley is fermented and distilled using the same process used to craft Octomore 6.1.
Following distillation, Bruichladdich Octomore 10 is aged for ten years. As a result of using less peat and maturing the whisky longer, Octomore 10 has a stronger aroma of dried fruits, particularly pears and raisins, than Octomore 6.1. In addition, the whisky has subtle undertones of juniper, cinnamon, honey, creamy vanilla and fresh mint that ultimately lead to a lingering finish. “The decade wait has been worth while,” says McEwan. “There is pride in the character and honesty of this Islay son.”
Bruichladdich Octomore 6.1 was just released, and only 6,000 bottles of Octomore 10 were ever produced. Pick one of each up today!
About Scotch
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.

Balblair 1975 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$292.50 Availability: In StockAbout Balblair 1975 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Balblair Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from plump, ripe Scottish barley, which is malted and fermented using water from the same source the Ross Family began using nearly 225 years ago. Following fermentation, the grains are twice distilled through the Balblair’s copper-pot stills. After distillation, Balblair’s stillmen remove the heads and tails of the distillate and preserve only the “hearts”for maturation (the hearts comprise less than 20% of the entire distillate).
Unlike other Scottish distilleries that bottle their whiskies with an age statement, Balblair Distillery bottles its whisky with a vintage statement. This method of bottling, which emphasizes maturity rather than age, allows Balblair’s Distillery Manager — John MacDonald — to bottle the whisky when it has reached its peak flavor profile. “There’s something quite special about a perfectly matured, Highland single malt whisky,” says MacDonald. “About having the essence of a vintage year, captured in a bottle. About tasting it. About feeling it.”
Balblair 1975 Single Malt Scotch Whisky was distilled in 1975 and launched in February 2012. The whisky has a rich golden color, along with an aroma of citrus fruit, soft vanilla and toffee. The aroma gives way to notes of fresh fruit, honey, oak and cloves on the palate, and leads to a long, layered finish. Balblair 1975 Single Malt Scotch Whisky earned the Gold Medal at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2013.

About Balblair
Balblair, founded in 1790 by John Ross, is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. The distillery was operated by the Ross family until the late 19th century, when James Ross gave up the tenancy of Balblair to Alexander Cowan, a wine merchant from Inverness. In 1911, Balblair ceased its distilling operations, and in 1932 the last whisky from the era was bottled. In 1948, Balblair resumed production under the stewardship of Robert James “Bertie” Cumming, a solicitor from Banff, who purchased the distillery for £48,000 a year later. In 1970, he sold the company to Hiram Walker, and throughout the 1980s extensive investments were made in the development of the distillery’s facilities. The distillery, located in the Highland village of Edderton, was acquired by Inver House Distillers in 1996.

The Singleton 19 Year Old 2021 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$157.50 Availability: In StockAbout The Singleton 19 Year Old 2021 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Glendullan is situated in Dufftown, the Whisky capital of the world. As one of the busiest Whisky epicenters, it is home to some of the greatest Scotch Whiskies ever created. Founded in 1898, by William Williams & Sons from Aberdeen, the distillery was actually decreed by King Edward VII in 1902. Like most distilleries, Glendullan has a history of ownership changes and renovations. In 1926, the distillery was bought out by Distillers Company Limited, then switched hands to Scottish Malt Distillers in 1939. By 1962 the distillery was renovated, and only a decade later a new facility was constructed near the original site. In 1985 the original facility was mothballed.
“Glendullan 2” is a real workhorse, putting out 4 million liters of spirit per year, producing several labels. The distillery itself has official bottlings and has been producing the Singleton brand since 2007. A bioplant which processes the spent lees was also opened on-site in 2014. The distillery has 3 wash stills with an impressive capacity of 33,700 liters, and 3 spirit stills with 23,800 liters of capacity. They source their unpeated maltings from Diageo’s industrial site, and the mashing takes place in a 12-ton mash tun.
Diageo’s 2021 Special Releases Collection follows the theme of hidden stories within iconic distilleries, connected via mythical creatures depicted on the bottles. The Singleton 19 Year Old Special Release Single Malt was aged in refill American oak casks before being finished in cognac casks and bottled at 109.2 proof. It’s a rich and elegant expression with a pleasant sweetness and notes of dried fruit and spice.

About The Singleton
Situated in the Speyside region of Scotland, the Dufftown Distillery was founded in 1895 by four wine merchants who, together, purchased a stone built saw and meal mill and converted into a distillery. Located near the confluence of the Rivers Dullan and Fiddich, the distillery draws its water from Jock’s Well, which is renowned for its incredibly pure and flavorful spring water (on more than one occasion, nearby distilleries — particularly Mortlach — have been caught attempting to d ivert water from the well to their own distillery).
Singleton of Dufftown Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted exclusively from malted barley, which is milled and mashed before being fermented in the distillery’s wooden washbacks. Following fermentation, the whisky is distilled twice: first through a copper pot wash still and then again through a copper pot spirit still.

Tobermory 21 Year Cask Strength Manzanilla Finish Scotch Whisky
$202.50 Availability: In StockAbout Tobermory 21 Year Cask Strength Manzanilla Finish Scotch Whisky
Tobermory uses optic barley sourced from several Scottish malt makers, meticulously selected by their own master distiller. The barley is soaked in fresh water for two to three days and then spread out on the distillery floor to germinate for one to three weeks (depending on the season). The barley is constantly monitored, turned, and tended, and as it germinates, it is infused with the distinct sea mists of Mull. The barley is then milled in a traditional Porteus mill to the Master Distiller’s exact specifications. They distill their whisky using the same techniques they used over two hundred years ago, using two wash stills and two low wines stills.
This 21-year-old Tobermory is a well-aged single malt that was finished in Manzanilla sherry casks. Manzanilla is a paler, drier sherry with a salty flavor, meaning that the influence of the cask is different than that of your typical rich sherry. The whisky gets additional citrus and spice notes from the Manzanilla casks. Bottled without any coloring or chill-filtration at 107.6 proof, the expression is limited to around 5,500 bottles.

About Tobermory
Situated on the Isle of Mull, the quaint village of Tobermory was founded in 1788 by fishermen who began using it as a resting place during their fishing expeditions in the Sound of Mull. The name Tobermory is derived from the ancient Gaelic word meaning “Mary’s Well,” and refers to a nearby well on the Isle of Mull that was dedicated to the Virgin Mary centuries ago by Irish monks who lived on the island. In 1798 — just ten years after fishermen began using the port of Tobermory as a resting place — John Sinclair founded Tobermory Brewery and Distillery.
Today, Tobermory Distillery is the last remaining distillery on the Isle of Mull, and one of the oldest commercial distilleries in Scotland. It produces two distinctive styles of whisky: Tobermory Single Malt Scotch Whisky, an unpeated single malt whisky that reflects the heritage and cultu re of the Isle of Mull, and Ledaig Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a heavily peated single malt whisky that reflects the distillery’s location in the Inner Hebrides archipelago.
