Octomore 5 year old Edition 10.1
Review by Octomore
- Colour
Pale golden.
- Nose
Vanilla led, caramel, hints of smoke but tamed back. candied apple, gooseberry and marzipan.
- Palate
Soft yet powerful and warming on the palate, peppery, barley sugar, smokey dried earth and hints of rubber. Warm sand, sweetness of charred oak and pineapple.
- Finish
Sweetness from tablet/fudge and a strong peat smoke and cold marine air combination.
- Note
-
Distilled from Scottish barley in 2013, Octomore 10.1 is the benchmark of the 10s series. Deliberately stripped back to an ex- American oak maturation, aged just 5 years old, the .1 edition exposes the structure and presence of the Octomore spirit. Combining smoke with a modest maturation, this 10.1 first and foremost demonstrates the true potential of a considered, patient distillation.
