Octomore 12.1 Islay Single Malt Whisky 5 Year Old
In stock
The Octomore 12.1 is delicate but powerful - unadulterated heavy smoke balanced with fruity and floral distillate. Never a range to conform to tradition, mainland grown Scottish barley is distilled in a patient and considered trickle, then matured solely in ex-American Whiskey casks for five years. The 12.1 is vibrant, punchy and lively initially, and then opens up to reveal layers of complexity. A dram that rewards those who seek to discover the mysterious, enigmatic Whisky that is Octomore.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Delicate yet assertive peat smoke leads, entwined with bright orchard fruit and delicate florals. Pear and lemon zest mingle with lilac and jasmine, while vanilla-caramel hints from the ex-American cask add kiss of sweetness. A brisk maritime edge lingers behind the smoky veil.
