A limited edition bottle of Kilchoman Distillery’s first ever single malt from cask number one, filled in December 2005, was sold at auction for a staggering £5,400. The winning bid was made by Niels Ladefoged, originally from Denmark and who lives in the UK. The bottle of the three year old single malt has a unique design and is the only one of its kind. All proceeds of the auction will go to Islay charities.

The Whisky Galore store will be releasing the first bottling from Kilchoman before Christmas 2009.

Octomore Edition /2_140
Octomore Edition /2_140 
New from Bruichladdich, Octomore is the new Islay single malt whisky, almost three times as peaty as any other existing whisky in the world to date.

Sequels are rarely better than the original. But this second edition of Octomore just might be the exception.

The tall, narrow-necked Bruichladdich stills have once again produced the most exceptional Islay hybrid – an extraordinarily heavily peated Islay nose together with a surprisingly refined spirit. And no medicinal flavours.

The combination of fine casks, trickle distillation, high original filling strength of 70%, and massive peat makes this is an astonishing whisky at just 5 years old, guaranteed to put hairs on your chest.

Octomore farm is two miles to the south west of Bruichladdich where in 1816 a small distillery was built. Its whisky, at that time, would have been very peaty. But it was a tragic story that dramatically unwound after sibling rivalry, litigation, famine and emigration led to it’s demise just 24 years later. Bruichladdich's ‘Octomore’ is the first in 168 years.

140 PPM Aged 5 Years. Numbered Bottles. Stunning packaging - Box Plus Coated Bottle.
