We're picking up the final release in the 13th series of Bruichladdich's Octomore range, and adding it to our ranking of the other 3 bottlings.

Another year, another set of Octomore bottlings. 12.2 won out last time, will 13.2 continue the trend?

We continue our look at the private casks of Jim McEwan, this time we focus on Octomore, both in bourbon, both around 11/12yo, let's see if they live up to Jim's reputation.

Two older releases (as far as Octomore goes!), including the first ever Octomore valinch, as well as a private bottling from Octomore Farm.

Bruichladdich's new range of Fèis Ìle bottlings contain spirit from their 3 main distillates mixed together. Have they got the balance of Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore right in these bottles?

We love cask strength whiskies, but these two Octomores clock in at 64% and 70% ABV respectively, will they be out of balance?
