Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge, a warm sherry-kissed glow.
Nose
Opulent sherry aroma with a Mortlach spine. Dried fig and raisin, orange zest and date mingle with cocoa, toffee and treacle. Mocha, leather and tobacco add depth, while cinnamon and clove ride over polished oak. Plush and velvety, the Octave’s concentration hints at heightened maturity and an espresso-kissed finish.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied and richly sherried, this Mortlach coats the palate with opulent fruit and spice. Fig, raisin and date mingle with treacle and dark chocolate, while espresso depth underscores the sweetness. Cinnamon, clove and toasted oak weave through a warm, concentrated midpalate. The finish is long, with orange zest, leather and polished tannins, leaving a refined, lingering warmth.
Finish
An enduring, velvety finish settles into sherry-sweet depth: fig, raisin and plum weave with cocoa and toasted almond, brightened by orange zest and a hint of spice. Oak adds warmth, with coffee-kissed notes guiding a long, elegant glow that lingers with refined persistence.
