Octomore 11.2 Islay Single Malt Whisky 5 Year Old · 2014 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished copper with warm amber-gold highlights and a whisper of ruby.

Nose

Towering Islay peat smoke envelopes iodine and sea spray, a briny maritime depth. Sherry-cask sweetness threads through—raisins, fig and dark chocolate—while orange zest, vanilla and toasted oak add a spicy, warming lift. A bold, coastal aroma that lingers with smoky elegance.

Palate

Intense, peppery peat coats the palate, edged with medicinal ember and sea-salt brine. Rich sherry sweetness emerges—dried cherries, fig, dark chocolate—counterpointed by vanilla-wood spice. The 58.6% ABV lends a full, velvety mouthfeel with enduring smoke, cocoa, and citrus zest, finishing long and warming with a final kiss of lacquered oak.

Finish

Long maritime finish of embered peat and ash, tempered by sea-salt and a touch of vanilla. The smoke lingers with peppery warmth, revealing dried fruit and dark chocolate, then fading to a velvety, oak-driven sweetness.
