Octomore Elements Of Islay Oc 6 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 2011 Vintage

Colour

Deep sun-bronzed amber with copper-gold highlights and a touch of mahogany along the rim.

Nose

Blazing peat smoke and brine surge from the glass, with iodine and sea-salt minerals. Rich sherry fruit—dried fig, raisin, orange zest—lingers alongside dark chocolate, espresso, and vanilla, while warm oak and spice build a polished, indulgent perfume.

Palate

Opulent peat smoke coats the palate, braided with iodine and sea-salt brine. Sherry-tinged sweetness frames fig and raisin, while dark chocolate and toasted almond provide depth. Full, velvety texture with a peppery bite and oak spice. A long, smoky finish lingers, carrying tobacco, sea breeze and caramelized fruit.

Finish

An epic, lingering finish of coastal peat and sea spray, slowly giving way to charcoal smoke and sherried sweetness. Dried fruit, cocoa and citrus notes weave through a warming embrace, while pepper and brine linger as a resinous, maritime echo that drifts into a long, refined finish.
