Bruichladdich whisky

Bruichladdich, on Islay, makes three single malt ranges from one distillery: unpeated Bruichladdich, heavily peated Port Charlotte, from malt at about 40 ppm, and super-heavily peated Octomore, from malt above 100 ppm. This page lists every bottle from the distillery we track, with the best current UK price for each.

The ppm figures describe the barley, not the glass. Peat tags here follow the range: Port Charlotte and Octomore are peated by definition, while Bruichladdich-labelled bottles are unpeated unless the label says otherwise. Octomore comes out in numbered editions, and older editions appear when retailers have stock.

What is the oldest Bruichladdich whisky you can buy?
The Kinship Bruichladdich 31 Year Old, at 31 years old, from £572.00.
What is the difference between Port Charlotte and Octomore?
Both are peated single malts from Bruichladdich. Port Charlotte is made from malt peated to about 40 ppm, Octomore from malt above 100 ppm. The figure is measured in the barley; distillation, cask and strength also shape the taste. See heavily peated whisky.
What do the Octomore numbers mean?
The first number is the edition series and the second the variant within it: 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 are three variants of the fifteenth series. Each release states its own ppm and cask recipe: 15.1 and 15.2 used malt at 108.2 ppm, 15.3 malt at 307.2 ppm.
Is Bruichladdich unpeated?
The Bruichladdich-labelled range is, but the distillery also makes Port Charlotte and Octomore, which are heavily peated.
Is Octomore the most peated whisky?
On its stated figures, it is among the most heavily peated whiskies made: Octomore 15.3 used barley peated to 307.2 ppm. Claims about records change with each edition, so treat any ‘most peated’ line as provisional. The figure describes the malt before distillation, not the finished whisky.
