Octomore 14.2 Islay Single Malt Whisky 5 Year Old · 2017 Vintage
In stock
Distilled in 2017 from the 2016 Harvest of 100% Scottish grown Concerto barley. Aged five years in a combination of first fill Oloroso hogshead and first & second fill Amarone casks.
Hailing from the renowned wine regions of Spain and Italy respectively, the spirit is then brought together in French oak, adding remarkable depth and complexity to the single malt. Octomore’s signature peak smoke notoriously pairs well with Oloroso sherry casks, with the influence of the wood adding a robust, savoury flavour to the final spirit.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-bronze highlights and mahogany undertones, a warm, lustrous glow.
Nose
Leather, prunes, red currants and malted barley lead the aroma, then toasted oak with hints of cinnamon, green apple and black pepper. Waves of smoke and red fruits unfold, paired with cereal notes of malt and porridge. The peat smoke feels dry and brooding, with a whisper of burnt heather and subtle pipe tobacco from the oak.
Palate
European oak delivers a dry, rippling backbone with wood spices, smoked oak and roasted coffee. Barbeque sweetness meets black pepper, balanced by rich fruit cake and dried fruits. A touch of water frees the wine-cask sweetness, unveiling apple and pear notes that lift the smoke to a refined, lingering finish.
Finish
Smoked malt, smouldering oak and sea salt settle on the finish as Octomore’s signature earthy smoke lingers.
