Bruichladdich Reveals World’s Most Heavily Peated Single Malt Whisky
Where there is smoke, there is fire – the old saying goes – and there is a metric ton of smoke in Bruichladdich’s newest four-whisky range of peated single malt whiskies called Octomore – including Octomore 3 – which is said to be the “world’s most heavily-peated single malt whisky”.

Yes, dear reader, I have finally made the pilgrimage to that most wonderful of places, the home of such outstanding whiskies as […]
Bruichladdich Peat
