This rare whisky from the Rest & Be Thankful Range is a wonderful, heavily- peated Octomore produced at the Bruichladdich Distillery.  The spirit was filled into casks that previously stored Tempranillo Sherry. Then left to sleep for 6 years before being bottled straight from the cask. No chill-filtration and colouring.
An extremely smokey and intense Islay malt with sensational dry fruit and spices.
