Laphroaig The Octave Single Ruby Port Wine Cask #5646863 Whisky 13 Year Old · 2011 Vintage

Colour

Deep ruby-amber with a garnet core and a coppery halo, evoking burnished mahogany as light moves through the glass.

Nose

A marine, iodine-kissed peat aroma rises with the lush sweetness of ruby Port. Red berries and plum mingle with dark chocolate as smouldering coastal smoke threads through the glass, intensified by the octave cask.

Palate

A bold yet refined wave of peat and sea air, layered with ruby-berry sweetness and dark chocolate. Red berries mingle with smouldering coastal smoke as the Octave’s tight, port-influenced oak drives a persistent, charred cocoa finish.

Finish

Long, coastal peat with a velvety wave of red berries and dark chocolate, carried by a saline finish. Ruby Port influence lingers, sweetness tapering to warm, port-spiced oak as embers fade.
