Octomore Single Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old
In stock
Octomore Single Malt Scotch Whisky explores the influence of terroir, cask management and experimental peat levels, pushing the boundaries of whisky making to their extremes. Single casks of this ilk are very rare and in high demand.
This Octomore Single Cask is matured and bottled exclusively on Islay and hand selected by our Master Blender Adam Hannett. The barley varietal, cask type, ABV, PPM and vintage, are specific to each cask, meaning this limited bottling cannot be repeated.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper highlights and a ruby-tinged edge, a rich, sherry-warmed hue that glows with maturity.
Nose
An immediate wave of BBQ smoke mingles with ginger-nut biscuits, opening to tropical fruits that rise vividly, then settling into brown sugar, aniseed and ripe apple.
Palate
Toasted oak greets the palate, then the softness of worn leather, followed by iodine and a balance of praline and brown sugar. Dried fruits and candied citrus round out the experience with a warm, lingering sweetness.
Finish
Oak lends sweetness and baking spices, then a dry, earthy smoke lingers, finishing with a gentle herbal note.
