Octomore 08.2 Masterclass Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 2008 Vintage
Out of stock
The wine cask maturation adds layers of dark fruit and spice to Octomore’s intensely peated spirit, complementing powerful smoke and maritime character with richer sweetness and structured oak. The result is a bold, complex expression that balances extreme peat with depth and refinement from the cask influence.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a touch of mahogany.
Nose
Intense peat smoke mingles with briny sea air, opening to dark fruits—blackberry, plum, fig—kissed by spice (clove, cinnamon) and a touch of vanilla. The wine-cask maturation lends polished oak and a subtle, sherried sweetness that cuts through the maritime character, yielding a deep, layered aroma.
Palate
Silky palate of dark fruit and spice over a boldly peated, maritime core. Wine-cask sweetness coats the tongue—blackberry, fig and cocoa—against a briny, coastal edge. Structured oak lends grip and refinement, with a long finish of ash, spice and salt.
Finish
Long, maritime finish with a refined peat echo. Dark fruit and spice linger as wine-cask sweetness unfurls against structured oak, weaving through the smoke. A velvety warmth remains, slowly fading into salt air and the last elegant wisps of peat.
