CHARACTER

Refined, confident, a little extra age has tempered some of the vitality but this dram has gained a classic, timeless feel.

AROMA

Initially smoke, tar, peat ash hint of muddiness/wet peat moss. Candied orange, pepper, chocolate, macaroon, vanilla fudge and lem-on meringue pie.

TASTE

Liquid gold, soft and delicate tex-ture from slow distillation. Superb

fruit/smoke combination. On the lips there is soft kiss of salt spray, ozone fresh. Sweet oak gives va-nilla, fudge, marzipan and walnut. Melon and citrus come through on a floral breeze. Many layered there is a lot find in this Octomore.

FINISH

Dry peat smoke, iodine and oak sweetness combine. Hints of mint and bog myrtle fade with the lin-gering peat smoke, as ever, the last flavour to go.

100% AMERICAN OAK MATURATION.

CHARACTER

Exotic, rich and fruity. Layered and complex, this is all about the cask story.

AROMA

Peat smoke comes first but not dominant, there is red fruit, an-iseed and barley sugar/boiled sweets. Smoke weaves between the other notes as they come, stewed apple, raspberry, blackcur-rant, dried apricots and chocolate. Orange, mince pies and Turkish delight hint at the cask history then

cherry wafers and coconut open out to floral notes of hay, geranium and Parma violets.

TASTE

Warming and sweet, deep fruit and satin-like smoke. The oak feels a little dry then lifts to become toast-ed bread, bubble-gum sweetness and strawberry Jam. Adding a drop or two of water opens up the Islay DNA of salt spray, ozone and cit-rus. As it opens you find rose petal, Turkish delight, praline and more strawberry jam, all the while the

smoke is in the background hold-ing everything together.

FINISH

Typical Octomore. Smoke comes through, a dry peat smoke, with malted barley and cherry, then goes out on its own..

CHARACTER

This is the ultimate Islay Octomore. A thunderstorm of a dram. Close your eyes as you take the first sip and allow your senses to shut down as you focus on processing this fascinating dram.

AROMA

Toasted oak and muddy/peaty smoke, bandages. Maple syrup, fresh linen, sea shells. Evokes a memory of lying in the heather on the peat moss, the warm sun coaxing the scent from the wild

flowers. The fruit is cherry, peach and mango, with crème brulee and toffee from the oak and barley.

TASTE

Initially a surprise as the stellar level of peat is bitter and over-whelming. Another sip opens with up with cherry and peach and toasted sweet oak, dark chocolate, boot polish and seaweed. At this level the peat is like a thunder-cloud, darkening the atmosphere. You can feel it in your bones.

FINISH

Complex, crème brulee with caramelised brown sugar slightly overdone. Dark plum, orange and kiwi sit well with the malted barley sweetness. The peat smoke is a tremendous presence offering roasted coffee, burnt heather and a place in your memory forever.

OCTOMOREOchdamh-mòr


CHARACTER

The power of Octomore and virgin oak combine again to show an-other of the endless possibilities we can create when our focus is on the fundamental elements of whisky making.

AROMA

A little smoke but gentle and warm. The oak comes with sweet hon-eyed malt and banana bread. The phenolic muddy notes come again now with a peppery, floral edge. With time the oak gives more and

more, toffee popcorn, vanilla fudge, coconut, cinnamon. The smoke fades back a little now.

TASTE

A rich texture feels like honey as it slowly builds the flavour of the sweet mellow oak. Leather and toasted wood combine with the delicate smoke. There is balance here as there is no oak notes with-out an equal and complimenting note from the smoke. Praline, coconut, clove are matched with barbeque, burnt heather and io-

dine. The spirit behind the smoke and oak brings a lemon and salt spray hit once opened with spring water as well as hints of mint and stewed apple.

FINISH

Clove, aniseed and coffee grounds fade to peat smoke – the typical, classic Octomore finish that always lingers in your mind.
