Bruichladdich Octomore 14.2 is a cask-strength, heavily peated Islay whisky aged for five years. With a maturation process that sets it apart, 40% of the whisky is aged in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, 16% in first-fill Amarone casks, and 44% in second-fill Amarone casks. This unique maturation imparts rich wine and oak influences, which beautifully complement the bold smoky character Octomore is known for.
