Octomore 15.3 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 5 Year Old · 2018 Vintage

Colour

Deep, radiant amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany edges—a warm, sherry-kissed hue.

Nose

Explosive peat smoke forms the backdrop, softened by ripe orchard fruits and rich Oloroso-dried fruit. Saline Islay breeze threads through, while homegrown barley lends malty sweetness and the bourbon cask delivers vanilla-touched warmth that lingers in the aroma.

Palate

Massive peat coats the palate with maritime brine, softened by ripe orchard fruit and sherried sweetness. A creamy, malty core from Islay barley supports vanilla and toffee from bourbon casks, while peppery spice and smoky char drift into a long, saline finish.

Finish

An enduring maritime finish: peat smoke and sea salt taper slowly, giving way to ripe fruit and malty sweetness. Sherry depth lends gentle spice, while bourbon vanilla lingers, wrapping the palate in a warm, coastal glow.
