The world’s smokiest whisky has just been bottled. (Thanks to Islayblog.com for letting me know.) Bruichladdich’s Octomore, a whisky clocking in at 80 ppm phenol, was bottled for those individuals wise enough to purchase Octomore futures back in 2002.

That’s great for the futures owners (I am not one), but what about the rest of us poor souls? I have some very good news. According to my contact at Bruichladdich:

“There will be a limited edition release later this year in different packaging and at a different ppm which will be sold through traditional channels to consumers. More information will be supplied in due course when we have it.”

This will be a hot item when it comes out. Start making your inquiries at specialty retailers whole stock Bruichladdich and get your name on a list.
