Octomore 16.3 is a whisky from Scotland produced by Bruichladdich. It falls within the Single Malt category of whisky. This whisky comes from the Islay region.

This whisky was matured in Bourbon + Sherry casks. It comes in a 70 cl bottle and has an alcohol content of 61.6%.

The whisky was bottled at cask strength. What does cask strength mean? A cask strength whisky is not diluted with water before bottling, but goes straight from the cask into the bottle, thus retaining the alcohol percentage during/after maturation in the cask. One of the advantages of this cask strength Bruichladdich is that you, as the drinker, can decide for yourself how strong you like your whisky by adding a little water to it according to your own preference, instead of the producer having already done this for you. The higher alcohol percentage can sometimes suppress the subtlety of the whisky.
