Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich gold; notably deeper than standard 5-year Octomore editions reflecting extended maturation
Nose
Mature peat smoke with developed complexity — leather, dark fruit, aged oak, and maritime character. Ten years of Islay maturation bring profound depth
Palate
Richly layered with mature, rounded peat smoke woven through dark fruit, vanilla, aged oak, and maritime minerality. The extra five years of maturation bring remarkable integration and smoothness
Finish
Exceptionally long finish with mature peat, aged oak, and lingering maritime character. A rare demonstration of how super-heavily peated whisky evolves with time
