Octomore 2007 13 Years 1st fill Premier Cru Supérieur Sauternes Cask No. 3807 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask Strength 57.4% Vol. - one of only 290 bottles from the Dramfool Jim McEwan Signature Collection of an iconic Octomore Islay Single Malt!
A rare and exquisite vintage 2007 13-year-old Bruichladdich Octomore Super Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky with 168 PPM, which was distilled on 19th December 2007 and, after 13 years of maturation in a first-fill Premier Cru Supérieur Sauternes wine cask, was bottled in February 2021 by the independent bottler Dramfool as part of the Jim McEwan Signature Collection as the Octomore Limited Release 1.3 in a limited edition of just 290 individually numbered bottles with no added colouring or chill filtration at cask strength 57.5% ABV.
The Jim McEwan Signature Collection is renowned for its distinctive, authentic single cask whiskies and is the result of a collaboration between two men who share a passion for Islay and Bruichladdich s finest bottlings - whisky legend Jim McEwan and Bruce Farquhar of Dramfool. The exclusive Signature Collection comprises bottlings of the unpeated Bruichladdich, the traditionally peated Port Charlotte and the world s most heavily peated Octomore.
The exceptionally heavily peated Octomore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is distilled by Bruichladdich in memory of the old Octomore distillery, which was located above Port Charlotte; in its day, it was one of the whiskies with the highest phenol content and is now regarded as a statement. Distilled in the time-honoured stills of the Bruichladdich distillery on the wild west coast of Islay, this luxurious Octomore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky breathes in the salty sea air of the Hebrides. It was here that the legendary Master Distiller Jim McEwan once created the iconic Octomore range - the most heavily peated single malts in the world. After retiring, Jim McEwan selected the finest and most exceptional casks from his private stock to bottle them in collaboration with Dramfool as the ultimate tribute to his career spanning over 50 years, and is the liquid legacy of a true whisky legend.
The luxurious pure gold/chartreuse-coloured vintage 2007 13 years Octomore Cask No. 3807 Dramfool Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the perfect bridge between Scottish raw power and French finesse, having matured in a first-fill Premier Cru Supérieur Sauternes barrique wine cask - casks from this top French classification are among the most expensive and sought-after in the world. While official Octomore bottlings often receive only a finish in fine wine casks, this exclusive Octomore Islay Single Malt was allowed to absorb the full sweetness and elegance of the sweet wine for over a decade. The result is an exceptional Octomore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, which on the nose reveals floral and fruity notes of heather, wild thyme, yellow plums, glowing peat fire aromas with oak and the delicate scent of a fine cigar box; the taste is a hedonistic dance on the tongue with powerful smoke, sweet rock sugar, soft green grapes, orange peel, toasted almonds and a delicate French oak spice; the finish is extremely long and complex with a floral sweetness, deep and harmonious smoke, and a gentle, cooling sea breeze - an incredibly elegant and outstanding Octomore Islay Single Malt and a true masterpiece!
