Octomore single malt has defied perceived whisky wisdom since its launch in 2008. Matured for five years, always super-heavily peated and bottled close to cask strength, Octomore’s surprising elegance has led us to define it as The Impossible Equation.
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 16.3 is a showcase of single estate Islay barley, high peating levels and masterful cask maturation; the archetypal Octomore liquid.
An Octomore of balance and restraint, this expression showcases the elegance and complexity possible when the spotlight shifts from cask influence to the spirit’s inherent character.
It’s an Octomore for contemplation, a quiet giant that reveals its depths slowly, highlighting the interplay of homegrown barley, smoke, and the subtle floral essence of Islay.
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.
