OCTOMORE SERIES SIXTEEN
An experiment which pushes the boundaries of whisky making, the latest series explores the influence of terroir, cask management and peat levels on the final flavour – with each single malt having its own distinct and unique character.
OCTOMORE 16.1
5 Aged Years | 59.3% ALC./VOL. | 101.4 PPM
Color
Spun Gold
Nose
An intriguing opening of sea spray and orchard fruits, enveloped by Octomore’s delicate peat smoke. Fine florals of dried heather and camomile emerge, followed by subtle vanilla bean and toasted almond. Cedar, smoked paprika and iodine add complex savoury notes.
Palate
Immediate, yet gentle, peat smoke followed by salted caramel, honeyed melon and apricot. Sweet malt sugars intermingle with cinnamon and star anise. Sea salt, toffee, chocolate and coconut follow, accompanied by a soft wave of earthy minerality and lingering smoke.
Finish
The finish is long and lingering, with the signature peat smoke taking centre stage. Black pepper and toffee intertwine with sea salt, creating a complex and satisfying conclusion.
OCTOMORE 16.2
5 Aged Years | 58.1% ALC./VOL | 101.4 PPM
Color
Antique Copper
Nose
Soft dried fruit mingles with Octomore’s signature smoke. Sunbaked tropical fruit and delicate florals appear from earthy peat, accompanied by a subtle nuttiness and toasted oak. Notes of honeysuckle and orange blossom emerge, alongside sweet smoke and a fresh, salty breeze.
Palate
Rich and sweet smoke, followed by caramelised sugar, roasted nuts, and dried fruits. Subtle hints of candied peel and warming spices follow. The underlying peat adds depth and complexity, evoking the warmth of a campfire and a touch of sea salt.
Finish
A long, sweet and smoky finish, with a crisp maritime freshness and lingering wood spices.
OCTOMORE 16.3
5 Aged Years | 61.6% ALC./VOL. | 189.5 PPM
Color
Winter Sand
Nose
Blooming heather and distant bonfire smoke. Soft notes of barley sugar and freshly baked bread are brightened with hints of lemon zest and green apple peel, underpinned by delicate florals. Peat smoke is present but restrained.
Palate
A symphony of honeyed malt, toasted grain and a distinctive earthiness greet the palate. Orchard fruits, citrus and a touch of vanilla sweetness follow, whilst delicate threads of smoke and salinity weave through the malt, providing a gentle counterpoint to heather and coconutty gorse.
Finish
A medium-length finish of sweet barley, accompanied by subtle floral notes, which give way to the gentle smokiness of a beach bonfire. Citrus and a touch of minerality linger on.
