The Original Octomore distillery was founded in 1816 by George Montgomery. The original spirit they produced at Octomore would have been heavily peated, and being distilled on the brine-soaked shores of the Loch Indaal, the whisky would have been sold very young.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe 49 tons of barley, grown on the Octomore farm, are germinated over a period of three days. The peat used to dry the barley used in Octomore is sourced from a Caithness Croft, situated in the vastness of Northern Scotland also known as \"The Flow Country.\" An area where peat has been cultivated since the ice age, developing in waterlogged, anaerobic blanket bogs, forming from the partial decomposition of vegetal matter. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOctomore 10.4 is the fourth release in the tenth edition of this heavily peated line from Bruichladdich. Distilled from Scottish barley in 2016, this Octomore 10.4 is the youngest ever released, aged for 3 years in Virgin Oak, and bottled at 88 ppm. Twenty-eight casks cut from Limousin oak have been heavily toasted before making their way to Warehouse 12 for filling. Their high tannic impact is balanced by a high toast level which gives way to a dry fruit character that is incredibly well-rounded.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up your bottle today!                                        \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Scotch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all!
