House Review
-
Intro:
Aged for 10 years, peated to 167ppm and part of the 10th edition releases, this bottling represents the third edition of such a release and one of the oldest Octomore expressions ever bottled.
-
Nose:
Apples, pears, honey, creme brulee, toffee, vanilla bean and a whallop of ash, slate, minerality and peat.
-
Taste:
BBQ ribs, creme brulee. Caramel candies, toffee, a slight sweetness of oak. Light berries, blackberry, ashy and mineral forward. Ashy, burning wood, smoked meat.
-
Finish:
Long, sweet, ashy, a touch of fruit and honey. Honeydew, lemon curd, creme brulee and vanilla bean.
-
Overall:
Magnificent, complex, a blend of fruit, dessert, burning wood and acrid peat in a balance that goes unexpected from the likes of brash Octomore.
