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.
