About this bottle

The Black Art series has typically featured unpeated whiskies from the Bruichladdich distillery. However, a unique Octomore, the OBA Concept_0.1, has been introduced. As with all Black Art releases, the casks employed for aging this spirit are not revealed, offering a sense of mystery. Those who acquire a bottle can find additional details on Bruichladdich's website by using the batch code. This bottling is restricted to 3,000 units and is offered in 500ml containers.

Based on the bottle I possess, it appears to contain casks from 2007, 2006, 2008, and 2002. The distillery's website does not specify the cask types, only mentioning 10 casks, 4 vintages, 1 barley type, and 6 cask types. Knowing the cask types would have been beneficial.
