Dialogos / 59.4%
In the fall of 2020, we welcomed the eleventh series of Octomore's. Adam Hannett, Bruichladdich's master distiller, noted that Edition 11.1 underscores the distillery's departure from the norms accepted by single malt whisky producers, and even sets new.
The three whiskies forming it were distilled from malt with concentrations of phenol compounds ranging from 139.6 to 194ppm, much higher than the previous series. Octomore Edition 11.1 was distilled in 2014 from 100% Scottish barley (Concerto and Propino varieties) malted to a phenol compound concentration of 139.6 ppm. The whisky was aged on Islay for five years in first-fill bourbon barrels from Jim Beam, Heaven Hill and Jack Daniel's distilleries, and the edition numbered 30,000. bottles.
