Distilled from a single harvest of 100% Scottish Barley, peated to a phenol level of 107ppm and matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks for five years, this Islay single malt showcases the spirit of Octomore and the precision of its distilling. Creamy aromas of vanilla are instantly present on the nose, followed by caramel, hints of smoke, candied apple, gooseberry and marzipan. The palate offers notes of barley sugar, pepper, smoky dried earth, charred oak and pineapple, before a long finish of peat smoke and a bracing sea breeze.

Description

Bruichladdich is based on the utterly wonderful Hebridean isle of Islay and is incredibly proud of it too, promoting much of this Island and what it has to offer on their website. All their whiskies use only Scottish Barley (itÕs called Scotch for a reason as they say) and are born and created to reflect the character and history of Islay. Their presentation is cracking too.

Rob Roy Cocktail Recipe

If there was ever a cocktail to make you feel the glitz and glamour of the history and chic society of New York, it's ordering a Rob Roy. The Rob Roy is a riff on a Manhattan, with their only difference being the base liquor. A Rob Roy is made using blended Scotch while a Manhattan is made with Rye. As such, the cocktail is malty and smooth, with a bit of spice on the finishing end.
