Tasting Notes
Nose
Smoked vanilla, sweet caramel and toffee open on the nose, with sooty smoke balanced by delicate coconut and flaked almonds. Earthy smokiness and a citrus lift emerge, with lemon meringue pie cutting through rich barbecue pork.
Palate
Bright citrus, smoke and a distinct minerality come through on the palate, followed by charred oak and beach bonfire embers. Toffee and creamy vanilla are balanced with the earthy smoke, with bright notes of pear, gooseberry fool and green apple simultaneously adding brightness and depth. Roasted coffee, hints of clove and nutmeg begin to come to the fore, with a gentle hint of heather honey.
Finish
Butterscotch and vanilla are balanced with Octomore’s signature earthy peat smoke and a hint of salt spray, with burnt heather and gorse flowers settling on the finish.
