Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Pale gold, natural color — characteristically light for Octomore despite massive peat levels
Nose
Sweet floral peat — vanilla, honeysuckle, ripe apricot, lemon zest, and gentle smoked barley. Surprisingly delicate opening that belies the ppm. Maritime salinity, damp earth, and a whisper of campfire smoke
Palate
Creamy and sweet entry — apricot, peach, vanilla cream, barley sugar — before the peat asserts itself mid-palate. Smoked honey, salted caramel, maritime minerality, and black pepper build. Oily texture coats the mouth with sweet smoke
Finish
Long and warming — peat smoke slowly crescendos after swallowing. Smoked vanilla, salted caramel, and maritime minerals linger. Earthy, gravelly finish with gentle campfire embers
