Dumbarton (silent) The Octave Rare Single Cask #10026403 Whisky 33 Year Old · 1986 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and coppery, ruby-tinted highlights.

Nose

Sherry-woven aromas of dark raisin and fig mingle with cocoa and toffee, folded with toasted almond. Cinnamon and clove bring warmth as elegant oak resin and a whisper of tobacco add depth. A refined dried-fruit sweetness lingers, hinting at decades of quiet maturation in a single octave.

Palate

Silky and opulent on the palate, this 33-year-old grain whisky coats with vanilla cream and toffee, then unfurls a concentrated sherry core—prune, fig, raisin—woven with dark cocoa and almond. Cinnamon and clove mingle with a gentle pepperiness on a polished oak frame, delivering a long, nutty finish crowned by refined, dessert-like sweetness.

Finish

A long, sherry-laden finish that lingers with dark fruit, fig and walnut, tempered by cocoa and orange zest. Spices of cinnamon and clove weave through toasted oak, while a warm leather whisper and gentle sweetness hold the palate in a refined, lingering glow.
