Octomore 6th Release Islay Single Malt Whisky (Distillery Exclusive) 10 Year Old · 2013 Vintage
In stock
The quiet passing of time, together with a unique and intriguing maturation profile, has profoundly shaped this 10 year old spirit.
Butterscotch and molasses complement Octomore’s signature peat smoke, with layers of spice adding to the complexity of the single malt Scotch whisky.
Maturation Profile: A base of Octomore aged in first fill bourbon (50%) was layered with spirit aged in Pineau des Charentes casks (15%), second fill Pedro Ximénez sherry butts (25%) and first fill red wine casks (10%). All casks were blended and left to marry for the final six months of aging before bottling.
