This is an incredibly rare opportunity for a serious collector to acquire a piece of Islay history: the first-ever Organic Octomore, distilled in 2003.
This highly sought-after bottle was part of Bruichladdich’s legendary ‘Futures’ program, where devoted fans could pre-purchase a share of this experimental, heavily-peated spirit. This specific expression (distilled from 100% organic barley) was a groundbreaking release that predates the Octomore brand’s global cult status.
Matured for five years in American Bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength, this is a raw and powerful glimpse into the origins of what has become the world’s most peated whisky series.
