Glenglassaugh Octaves Batch 2 Classic Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
Glenglassaugh Octaves is a marriage of multiple octave casks (smaller resized casks produced to enable more contact between spirit and wood to increase both maturation time and flavour) including Bourbon, Pedro Ximenez and Amontillado Sherry casks. This has waves of tropical fruit sweetness balanced with spiced coffee and intriguing oaky nuttiness.
Gold Medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits competition 2019.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Radiant gold with honey-amber depth and warm copper highlights—a sunlit, luxurious hue that hints at sherry-influenced maturation.
Nose
Bright tropical fruit aromas of pineapple and mango rise with gentle sweetness, while spiced coffee notes unfold. Toasted oak frames a nutty, sherry-touched backdrop, with hints of almond and walnut.
Palate
On the palate, tropical fruit sweetness glides across the tongue, bright and sun-kissed, with spiced coffee lending warmth and depth. Nutty, toasted oak folds in, while sherry cask influence whispers dried-fruit complexity. A creamy, mid-weight mouthfeel leads to a long, elegant finish.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish where tropical fruit sweetness lingers before giving way to warm spiced coffee and intricate oak-nut notes. A subtle sherry sheen threads through, leaving a refined, nutty fade with just enough spice to invite the next sip.
