Octomore 15.2 Islay Single Malt Whisky 5 Year Old · 2018 Vintage
In stock
Octomore 15.2 offers an intriguing and inviting comparison to it’s 15.1 counterpart. Distilled from the same batch of Scottish grown barley and also malted to 108.2PPM, the 15.2 used a robust combination of second fill wine and second fill bourbon casks, with the spirit finished in first fill Cognac casks. This unique trifecta adds layers of intrigue, resulting in a complex yet exceedingly elegant single malt Scotch whisky. Hints of nutmeg, toasted oak and caramel add smoothness to the palate, with the delicate floral character of Octomore coming to the fore.

Colour
Rich amber-gold with warm copper highlights and a honeyed glow.
Nose
Aromas of maritime peat and smoky resin rise with bright, elegant fragrance. Delicate floral notes mingle with soft nutmeg spice, while toasted oak and caramel provide a creamy, honeyed backdrop. A subtle Cognac-finished richness hints at dried fruit, completing a refined, perfumed bouquet.
Palate
Nutmeg spice unfolds with toasted oak and caramel sweetness, caressed by a suave cognac-finish nuance. Delicate floral notes lift the mid-palate, guiding to a refined, lingering finish.
Finish
Long, Cognac-kissed finish that coats the palate with creamy vanilla and caramel, warmed by toasted oak and a hint of nutmeg. The peat recedes to a refined warmth, while delicate floral notes drift through the fade, leaving a silky, lingering finish.
